The study examines how conspiracy theories, both common ones and the Georgian Dream–promoted “Global War Party” narrative, shape public opinion and contribute to anti-Western attitudes in Georgia. It analyzes how factors such as media consumption, partisanship, and demographics influence susceptibility to these narratives.
The findings are based on a nationally representative 2024 telephone survey of 1,457 adults, using weighted statistics and regression analysis to measure conspiratorial thinking, belief in the Global War Party, and support for anti-Western statements.
