The\ncontroversial former president Mihail Saakashvili undeniably left a mark by\nembarking on a rapid modernization process that entailed drastic\nanti-corruption reforms as well as large investments in infrastructure. All\nover Georgia one can see the glass monuments to transparency, accountability\nand revival starting from the new offices of the Legislature, Presidency,\nCourts, Police Stations etc. One can discuss the aesthetics and the\narchitectural value of the new edifices, but their symbolic importance for the\nyoung and ambitious country is unquestionable. Meanwhile, in stark contrast,\nMoldova has struggled for almost five years to renovate its parliament and\nfailed to renovate the presidential office for almost a decade following the\nriots of April 2009. The Moldovan President Igor Dodon had to ask the Turkish\nPresident Erdogan not just to rebuild the Presidential Office, but also pay for\nthe furniture.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile,\nGeorgia not only built dozens of large <a href=\"https:\/\/georgiaphotophiles.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/30\/106\/\">new public\nbuildings, but also renovated hundreds of historical sites<\/a> in Tbilisi, Batumi,\nBorjomi, Sighnaghi, Mtskheta etc. The government was also able to build\nhundreds of kilometers of highways, which, along with economic liberalization\nand good governance practices, further boosted the country\u2019s business climate. Unlike\nMoldova, which employed opaque schemes to hand over management rights of the\nChisinau International Airport to shady local oligarchs and sold the country\u2019s\nnational airline to equally obscure local business interests, Georgia invited\nreputable international investors into the Georgian Railway company, namely the\nU.K.-based Parkfield Investment. Similarly, Tbilisi Airport was sold and Batumi\nAirport was leased to the Turkey-based TAV Airports Holding, in turn owned by A\u00e9roports\nde Paris. All these actions allowed Georgia to dramatically increase its\nrevenue from tourisms. Perhaps nowhere is the transformation more vivid than in\nthe small but famous town of Borjomi and even more so in the second largest\nGeorgian city \u2013 Batumi.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the\nousting of Aslan Abashidze from Adjara in 2004, Saakashvili moved the Georgian\nConstitutional Court to Batumi to foster regional development as well as a\nspirit of national unity in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara. He was\nsuccessful in ensuring the withdrawal of a Russian military base from the\nregion, which bolstered investor confidence. The Batumi skyline now boasts\nimpressive skyscrapers owned by Turkish, Azeri, Kazak and Russian investors.\nThe town is home to world class hotels: Sheraton, Radisson Blu, Hilton, Wyndham,\nGolden Palace etc, while the entire Moldova only has a single premier hotel &#8211;\nRadisson Blu. This is indicative not just of the overall level of economic\ndevelopment, but could also be viewed as a proxy of the current state and\nfuture potential for foreign direct investment. One need only to compare the\ntwo graphs of FDI flows in Moldova and Georgia to get a rather stark contrast\nbetween the realities of the two countries. While Georgia reached <a href=\"https:\/\/tradingeconomics.com\/georgia\/foreign-direct-investment\">almost $800\nmillion in FDI<\/a> around 2015 and had two lower peaks at about $600 million in\n2008 and 2017, Moldova is still far away from its <a href=\"https:\/\/tradingeconomics.com\/moldova\/foreign-direct-investment\">maximum\nof $250 million FDI<\/a> achieved in 2008 during the rule of the Party of\nCommunists. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/demsecinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/08f7b-chrt1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demsecinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/08f7b-chrt1.png 667w, https:\/\/demsecinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/08f7b-chrt1-300x136.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\" src=\"https:\/\/demsecinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/59971-chrt2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demsecinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/59971-chrt2.png 634w, https:\/\/demsecinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/59971-chrt2-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Yet,\nthe success of Batumi is important not just form an economic perspective, but\nalso from a political and security viewpoint as well. Having regained full\ncontrol over the region in 2004, the government in <a href=\"http:\/\/georgiatoday.ge\/news\/8171\/Ambitious-Plans-for-Adjara-Development-to-Make-it-a-4-Season-Region\">Tbilisi\nhas been consciously investing in Adjara<\/a> \u2013 the autonomous region and in\nBatumi in particular \u2013 the country\u2019s second largest city. Again, in stark\ncontrast, Moldovan leadership, including the more recent nominally pro-European\nelites, failed to see the value of consciously investing in the development and\nwellbeing of citizens living in Moldova\u2019s own Autonomous Region of Gagauzia (in\nthe south) and the country\u2019s second largest city \u2013 Balti (in the north). As a\nresult, the citizens living in those regions feel economically and politically\nexcluded and remain heavily susceptible to pro-Russian agendas, further\nundermining the still very weak sense of national unity in Moldova. This perceived\ndisenfranchisement is certainly not helping in terms of pulling Transnistria\ncloser to Moldova proper. Elites in Chisinau have adopted the clich\u00e9 of saying\nthat Gagauzia needs to flourish in order for the autonomy proposition to become\nviable for Transnisnitria\u2019s consideration within the conflict settlement\nprocess, but the same elites in Moldova have so far been reluctant to put their\nmoney where their mouth is, unlike the more visionary Georgian leadership.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mihai Popsoi After having visited Georgia several times since my first visit in 2016, I am in awe with the sheer splendor of the country\u2019s booming new architectural landmarks.
