LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR THE GOVERNANCE OF AN ETHNIC MINORITY, INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMS AND MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN – THE CASE OF GEORGIA

Abstract

Life of ethnic minorities in a state with a different culture and traditions is not easy. Each nation is unique and has its own culture, history, customs and character. Their aforementioned individualism when living with another nation requires proper perception and moderate fusion with the characteristics of another nation. The coexistence of two or more states can lead to difficulties and, in some cases, to the emergence of conflict zones. The article outlines the legislative acts of Georgia and the institutional mechanisms implemented in the Georgian state. It also reflects the consistent political steps that the Georgian state has taken in connection with the need for an integration course. This implies both the existence of a document on priorities, which is developed by a state institution, and reports on the work done, clearly demonstrating the effectiveness of the existing plan. The integration of national minorities is a priority for the Georgian state and is carried out within the framework of the action plan approved in the country.
