Yesterday Václav
Havel died, Czech playwright-philosopher-president, tireless democracy and
human rights activist and great European. As one of the eminent founders of the
Charta 77 movement in Czechoslovakia, he became the embodiment of the Velvet Revolution
in 1989, the mobilisation of people's power which ended communist dictatorship
through peaceful dialogue. The Velvet Revolution became the template for
peaceful transitions to democracy ever since and Václav Havel the champion for
people's struggles for democracy all over the world. Read more

Since
Georgia's independence in 1991, the Christmas Coup of 1991 and the Rose
Revolution of 2003 marked the beginnings of important phases in the country's democratic
transition. Although some progress in constructing a democratic political architecture
has definitely been achieved, the democratic transitions have never been
consolidated, leading instead to the establishment of state institutions that
are too weak to overcome the one-party dominance which has always been at the
core of the revolutionary protests. Read more
