The CRRC Georgia’s Georgian-language podcast episode is live – What is Polarization like in Georgia?
- In this episode, based on data from a CRRC-Georgia survey, we examine political polarization in Georgia and distinguish its two main forms: affective polarization (emotional distance between political opponents) and ideological polarization(disagreements about politics and institutions). Although affective polarization in Georgia is relatively low – people generally maintain friendly relations with supporters of different parties – the country still experiences significant ideological polarization.
- The research shows that since 2021, government campaigns have systematically changed public attitudes toward non-governmental organizations, shaping differing views about democracy rather than simply partisan opinions.
