A web page dedicated to the Journal of Georgian Politics, a PSI initiative which aims to electronically publish Georgian public policy research. We hope to publish the first issue before the end of 2001.

Along with these four resources, our research staff is in the process of developing an extensive World Wide Web Virtual Library about Georgia dubbed "Rustaveli," after Georgia's most prominent poet and philosopher. We envision that Rustaveli will become an online resource for scholars and policy-makers interested in Georgia's political, economic, and social development, its history, along with regional security and geopolitical issues in the Caucasus. We intend to have the initial version of Rustaveli running by the end of the summer; please stay tuned.

PSI is dedicated to maintaining an active presence on the World Wide Web. We welcome your feedback and suggestions. Please feel free to email us at info@psigeorgia.org if you have any questions or thoughts. We look forward to hearing from you, and thank you again for visiting our site.
