Birth of the Charter on the Us-Georgia Strategic Partnership and the Progress Achieved Within its Framework in 2009-2014

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to determine the effectiveness of US-Georgia defense and security cooperation within the framework of the Strategic Partnership Charter of US-Georgia in 2009-2013. The study will discuss the basic principles of the military cooperation between the two countries, as well as the basic concept of the charter, where we will try to investigate the effectiveness of the cooperation between the USA and Georgia in terms of defense and security and the measures that contributed to the deepening and strengthening of the military cooperation between the USA and Georgia in the target period. It is worth noting that within the framework of strategic mutual cooperation, the USA and Georgia have expanded cooperation programs in the fields of defense
and security. The aforementioned programs included adapting Georgian military units to NATO standards, increasing Georgia’s involvement in international peacekeeping operations, and other important issues. Based on internet publications, monographs and articles, it’s intended to be discussed one more important issue, which is very relevant for the war-torn country – what were the measures the United States has taken for Georgia in terms of post-war reconstruction and financial stability. The article uses the methodology of comparison and analysis, which will allow us to determine the effectiveness of the reform implemented within the framework of the Charter in strengthening the defense and security sector of Georgia.
