Georgian Democracy
A year ago, Alexi Gugushvili and I described Georgia's October 2012 election and the events surrounding it as "amazing," "truly remarkable," and "nearly unheard of." Is Georgian political life still unfolding in such an exceptional fashion, or is there a "new normal"—and if so, is it friendlier to liberal democracy, or fraught with problems for it? It may be that electoral democracy is becoming more routine in Georgia, but something is missing: R…
A New Chance for Georgian Democracy
Something amazing happened in Georgia’s 1 October 2012 parliamentary elections. The government lost and it gave up power, aside from the now-weakened presidency that it will hold for another year. A new coalition known as Georgian Dream ran under the leadership of Georgia’s richest man, the billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, and won 85 seats in the unicameral, 150-member Parliament. Georgia’s post-Soviet background and circumstances make the 2012 o…
Twenty Years of Postcommunism
Twenty Years of PostcommunismGeorgia's Soviet Legacy Charles H. Fairbanks Jr. (bio) Except for the three Baltic republics, the new states that burst from the carcass of the old Soviet Union have experienced severe difficulties in reaching democracy. An obvious but little used method for understanding these difficulties is to examine the legacy that seven decades of Soviet politics have left behind. Georgia makes a good case to start with because …
Debating the Color Revolutions
Lucan Way’s elucidating account of postcommunist authoritarianism and democratization includes compelling critiques of diffusion-based arguments, particularly with regard to timing and electoral cycles. Yet his interpretation glosses over a distinction that ought to be the foundation of any discussion about post-Soviet governments—the distinction among regimes, rulers, and political teams. Further, Way underestimates the importance of the strengt…
Revolution Reconsidered
In the winter of 2006 Georgians and Ukrainians will be marking the anniversaries of events that they dubbed revolutions. It is surprising that these historic upheavals did not spur any reconsideration of the concept of revolution. Modern liberal democracy emerged when a "right of revolution" began to be widely argued in the 1700s. Over the next two centuries, revolution was a hope always cherished somewhere on the globe. Some of the subsequent re…
Human Rights in Russia
Human Rights in Russia. By Jonathan Weiler. Boulder, CO: Lynne Rienner, 2004. 165p. $49.95. This is a revisionist book. Jonathan Weiler breaks with the fundamentally positive vision of post-Soviet “reform and democratization” that prevailed among Western analysts of Russia during perestroika and the Yeltsin years, and still dominates American and European governments' policy
Georgia's Rose Revolution
The reign of strongman presidents and the routine use of electoral fraud and manipulation have produced widespread apathy, resignation, and cynicism about the prospects for democracy in the Caucasus. In the fall of 2003, these trends dominated the presidential elections in Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as the parliamentary elections in Georgia. But shortly after the elections, a brief and nonviolent series of mass protests in Tbilisi—the so-cal…
Ten Years After the Soviet Breakup
When the Soviet Union fell into shards, it was as if Western liberal democracy--at least on the level of words--suddenly vaulted far to the east, into the traditional heartland of "Oriental despotism
The Feudal Analogy
In his account of the rise of Vladimir Putin, Michael McFaul displays, as always, an intimate knowledge of Russian events, a willingness to report both sides of the ledger, and keen judgment. He does not, however, probe as deeply as he might into the nature of the political system that is evolving
What Went Wrong in Russia? The Feudalization of the State
What Went Wrong in Russia?The Feudalization of the State Charles H. Fairbanks Jr. (bio) In the essay in this issue by Peter Reddaway and Dmitri Glinski, as well as that by Zoltan Barany, I feel myself sniffing the Moscow air I have experienced; Michael McFaul’s vision of the state of democratic transition, in spite of the enormous knowledge of Russia that informs it, seems somehow less recognizable. I would emphasize even more than Reddaway and G…
Armed Forces and Democracy
Armed Forces and DemocracyThe Postcommunist Wars Charles H. Fairbanks Jr. (bio) We are living through what may be the twilight of an era, several centuries long, during which the use of force became ever more closely associated with the state. There are probably no symbols more strongly tied to the state than the flag and the military uniform, both of which date back only to the late seventeenth century. Everywhere that modern nation-states have …

After the Moscow Coup
After the Moscow Coup Charles H. Fairbanks Jr. (bio) In the wake of this past August's failed coup, the issues in Soviet politics have become clearer. The confusions sown by Gorbachev's maneuvers and compromises have lost their power to obscure what is truly at stake. The vestiges of the old communist order tried to arrest the country's drift into catastrophe by closing off the democratic opening. The partisans of democracy rose up to stop them w…
Soviet decision making and bureaucratic representation
The Suicide of Soviet Communism
The Suicide of Soviet Communism Charles H. Fairbanks Jr. (bio) Modem democracies are based on the principle that political power is properly contested among various parties and awarded to the party that gets the most votes in free elections with universal suffrage. The major contemporary alternative to this principle of legitimacy has been the Leninist doctrine of the dictatorship of the proletariat. It holds that the communist party, as the vang…

The Taxonomic Position of Stalling's Island, Georgia
Stalling's Island, located in the Savannah River eight miles above Augusta, Georgia, is the site of a large, deep shell midden. Jones mentions the Stalling's Island midden, but the principal source of information has been the report of Clafiin's work. The present report deals with an excavation intended to obtain additional information on the cultural affiliation of this material. Interest was aroused by Clafiin's statement that sherds were absen…

A Feldspar-Inlaid Ceramic Type from Spanish Colonial Sites
A type of Mexican folk pottery first collected in 1920 at Cuernavaca is demonstrated to be of Iberian derivation and to date back as early as the 17th century. It has been found at Ft. Jesus in Mombasa, Kenya, and at the kiln site in the Old City of Panama. The pottery is decorated with inlays of small tesserae of feldspar and occasionally other minerals. Incision, stamping, low relief, and red paint are often associated decorative features

The Kolomoki Mound Group, Early County, Georgia
The recent revival of interest in the Kolomoki site, little known except to southeastern archaeologists, has suggested that a short description would be of value. The mound group was described by C. C. Jones in 1873 as Messier Plantation Mound. Some random digging has been done from time to time, and several large collections of flint points have been removed. Dr. A. R. Kelly, Jesse D. Jennings, Robert Wauchope, and the writer have made surface c…

A Preliminary Segregation of Etowah, Savannah, and Lamar
Centering in Georgia and extending to the adjacent portions of the states of Tennessee, Alabama, North and South Carolina are a series of archaeological complexes characterized by pottery with a complicated stamped decoration. These complexes have not yet been sufficiently defined. This paper will attempt a partial statement of the resemblances and differences between the major divisions of the group. It will not attempt to evaluate the excavatio…
The Occurrence of Coiled Pottery in New York State
There has been considerable discussion recently as to whether or not the coiling method was in use in the northeastern Woodlands area. There are two sources of information: early written reports of settlers, missionaries, and others, and archaeological material. Holmes reports the observations of Mooney and Palmer among the Catawba, who used the coil method. Sagard, a French missionary, described the the Huron as using the paddle and anvil method…
Salt Pans' from the Southeast
Salt pans' commonly occur throughout the Mississippi drainage area, especially in Southern Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee where they often are associated with salt springs. Most frequently referable to numerous foci of the Middle Phase, Mississippi Pattern they are typical especially of the Gordon-Fewkes Aspect. Recent work under the sponsorship of various governmental agencies (Work Projects Administration, Tennessee Valley Authority, National…

The Leake Mounds, Bartow County, Georgia
The Leake mounds are located 11⁄2 miles west of Cartersville, Georgia, on the north side of the Dallas-Rockmart road. They lie a short distance back from the left bank of the Etowah River but are still in the river bottom. They were briefly mentioned by Moorehead in Etowah Papers, but he did not discuss the type of material there. The group consists of three mounds, of which one was flattopped and the others domed, at least in recent years. The m…
