Among the states separated from the Soviet Union the Republic of Georgia is an appropriate case for studying the status of informal governments, as mentioned in the article.
In this regard, the following question is studied in the present article:   How do unrecognized states affect on the process of state-building in the Republic of Georgia? The unrecognized states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia have had a negative impact on state building in the Republic of Georgia; that are discussed in the article.
