Georgia Protests: Euromaidan in the Making?

Protests in Georgia have been ongoing for nearly a month after the government suspended the country’s EU accession process until 2028. Clashes between demonstrators and police are becoming increasingly frequent, evoking a strikingly similar image to the events of late 2013, early 2014 in Ukraine. However, the current Georgian crisis differs in significant ways from Euromaidan, and these differences could prove to be lifesaving for the Georgian government.
