Abstract

The principal elements of the opposition against Eduard Shevarnadze were trained and financed by the US government and mainstream US NGOs. The Georgian opposition's orientation towards an alliance with the West and a state of “low-intensity democracy” were in accordance with the interests of Euro-Atlantic (especially US) capital. The US agenda is to ensure economic and geo-political dominance in Eurasia by means of a shift in allegiances of the local elites and the concomitant prevention of deeper democratisation. The most immediate task is to make certain that no state or combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its decisive arbitration role. (Brzezinski)
