Professor Ghia Nodia, Ilia State University, Georgia - to University of Glasgow: 18 February – 08 March 2013 and University of Glasgow: 08 February - 07 March 2014

• 3-week module ‘Political Modernization: The Georgian case’ • Seminar: Thursday 28 February 2013. ‘Democratization, Modernity and identity in Georgia’ • Seminar: Wednesday 05 March 2014. On the frontline of Europe: The Geopolitics of Values (Lessons from Ukraine and Georgia)

It is my hope that my visits to Glasgow within the IMRCEES Visiting Scholar Programme were mutually beneficial. I taught short courses on Georgia’s Political Modernizations that gave a chance to students of the program to learn about very interesting transformation processes in this country – but also helped me to develop my vision of them that I hope to summarize in a book format. Feedback from colleagues in Glasgow as well as from students was tremendous help. And, last but not least, I benefited a lot from resources of the University library.
