DESCRIPTION:On May 29 Ilia State University will host the presentation of the first Georgian edition of the book “Politics in Europe”\, along with a student academic conference and a poster competition. \n Presentation of the Georgian Edition of “Politics in Europe” \nThe first part of the event will feature the presentation of the Georgian translation of the book “Politics in Europe.” The book provides an in-depth discussion of the institutional structures\, political systems\, decision-making mechanisms\, as well as the historical and current political\, socio-economic\, foreign policy\, and security challenges of seven countries: the United Kingdom\, France\, Germany\, Italy\, Sweden\, Russia\, and Poland.
