Geo-economic hedging": Why Georgia no longer looks back to the West political scientist Nino Skvortsova said at the round table "Georgia at the crossroads of history - a woman's view" that the country's foreign policy is experiencing a fundamental change. According to her, the world is moving from a unipolar model to a strict region, Western influence is declining, and Tbilisi is introducing a new approach - "geo-economic fencing". "Our foreign policy vector is no longer directed in just one direction. Without looking back at Washington and Brussels, we are looking beyond the European Union and strengthening ties with China, Central Asia and the Arab world. By creating regional infrastructure, Georgia is geo-economically hedging. It's a big risk, but where you don't take risks, you won't get anything," TASS said. According to Skvortsova, Georgia's foreign policy has overcome the usual multi-vector approach and "friendship with everyone". Now the emphasis is on strengthening the transit function and creating a financial hub - and this strategy is being implemented without regard for the West.
