Speaker: Natia Gamkrelidze, Postdoctoral Fellow, International Security ProgramThis presentation explores the phenomenon of "borderization" in Georgia, a term coined to describe Russia’s gradual, unilateral extension of Georgia’s breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The study critiques the term for oversimplifying a complex and dynamic process that better aligns with "creeping occupation," a more precise characterization of Russia’s tactics.
