This working paper examines whether Javakheti is now closer to becoming an integrated part of Georgia. It aims to create a better understanding of the challenges that Javakheti faces in order to facilitate an informed debate on the current situation and the future development of the region. The paper analyzes recent socioeconomic developments in Javakheti, the main NGOs and political actors in the region, the recent history of power structures, the current lack of a central framework for integration policies in Georgia, and the differences in perceptions between Georgians and Armenians.
