Romanian Journal of Political Science. 137 Post-Soviet Georgia in the Process of Transformation-  Modernization Challenges in Public Service  1  Tamar Charkv iani  2  ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to address the lack of academic knowledge about  public services in post-Soviet Georgia. I ts attention is focused on the practices of career progression in public institutions in the context of meritocratic principles. In the new, ever-changing environment, with the inherited general mistrust of Soviet- type institutions, and at the time when formal democratic social institutions (formal and moral criteria of success) are still in the process of development, informal factors (protectionism, nepotism, etc.) still largely determine social-economic success. This article claims the prevalence of informal relationships over meritocratic principles in the Georgian public service management system, which hinders the process of making public service more effective, productive and transparent. KEY WORDS: post-Soviet Georgia,  meritocracy, bureaucracy, paternalism. Introduction Georgia is considered to be a ―post -Soviet‖ state, a ―transitional/transforming society‖ and a ―young democracy‖. In a transitional society, the  weakening of various systems brings about the necessity to transform and institutionalise social institutions and practices. This process is reflected in all spheres of social life. One of the main parts of this transformation process remains with state/public institutions, which determine working and living conditions and the ability of the population to adapt to new conditions. The level of state development depends on the reforms that are carried out in the country—on the norms, standards and ―game rules‖ functioning formally or 1  A similar topic was covered in Volume 8, No. 1, summer 2008 of the Romanian Journal of Political Science which focused on the topic ―Defective Democracies‖. 2  Tamar Charkviani is a PhD Candidate and Lecturer at the Department of Arts and Sciences, Ilia State University, Tbilisi. She is a graduate of the Georgian State University, Faculty of Philosophy and Sociology, specialty in Sociology.
