Abstract

The systematic deployment of disinformation campaigns by nondemocratic actors, including state-led narratives, poses a profound threat to Georgia's democratic resilience. Given that these campaigns are designed to influence people’s pro-Western sentiments, deepen polarization, and erode institutional trust, identifying which specific segments of the population are most susceptible to manipulation is essential for formulating effective countermeasures. Collectively the four contributions in this special issue address this task on the basis of representative public opinion surveys.
