This issue of the Caucasus Analytical Digest focuses on polarization as a key characteristic of Georgian politics, more specifically on key actors and instruments of this polarization: right wing groups, media and the Georgian Orthodox Church. Tamta Gelashvili examines the role of the far right in political polarization; Salome Kandelaki analyzes radicalization and illiberal tendencies in Georgia by focusing on the role of one of the most powerful actors involved, the Georgian Orthodox Church (GOC); Lasha Kavtaradze problematizes the role of the Georgian mainstream media in the current polarized political environment.
