New Article in Caucasian Review of International Affairs (CRIA)
Despite the fact that a national competitiveness is substantially linked to globalization, only a few studies have linked these two subjects from the perspective of developing countries, which presents complex challenges to policy makers and researchers. Author argues that Porter's Diamond Model is basically relevant for economically strong industrialized countries and is less applicable for developing economies. The contention is that driving forces of globalization (FDI, transnational companies and Bretton Woods Institutes) have different implications on national competitiveness according to internal capacities and external opportunities. The paper makes a critical analysis of existing theoretical aspects of national competitiveness. It also clarifies the framework of National Innovation System, which has been successfully used in OECD countries and more recently is becoming the focus of increased attention from developing nations. Attention is concentrated on defining the aspects of Georgia’s competitiveness, evaluating the country’s economic performance, and suggesting practical recommendations for reforms and development.

Dr. George Ivaniashvili-Orbeliani, a Visiting Scholar at the Centre of International Studies, University of Cambridge, indicates an alarming inefficiency of Georgian universities and training centres, because vast majority of professors and experts/trainers do not have adequate knowledge and scientific credentials to meet the internationally accepted criteria.
"In a world of increasing global competition the fate of small developing nations critically depends on competitive knowledge of their governments, businesses and societies… Knowledge is a crucial instrument which creates wealth, establishes values and empowers us with modern vision and innovative skills.
