Georgia's location, nestled between the Black Sea, Russia, and Turkey, renders it strategically important. It is developing as the gateway from the Black Sea to the Caucasus and the larger Caspian region, but also serves as a buffer between Russia and Turkey. Georgia has a long and tumultuous relationship with Russia, but it is reaching out to its other neighbours and looking to the West in search of alternatives and opportunities. It signed a partnership and cooperation agreement with the European Union, participates in the Partnership for Peace, and encourages foreign investment. Georgia in 2004-2008 sought to become a member of NATO, but did not succeed in the face of strong Russian opposition.{{cite journal|last=Tsygankov|first=Andrei P.|year=2013|title=The Russia-NATO mistrust: Ethnophobia and the double expansion to contain 'the Russian Bear'|journal=Communist and Post-Communist Studies|volume=46|issue=1|pages=179–188|doi=10.1016/j.postcomstud.2012.12.015}}

As a result, Georgia broke off diplomatic relations with Russia and has left the Commonwealth of Independent States.{{cite news|last1=Kramer|first1=Andrew|date=29 August 2008|title=Georgia and Russia Cut Diplomatic Ties|newspaper=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/30/world/europe/30russia.html|access-date=21 October 2014}} From 2008 until 2012, Georgia established diplomatic relations with about 50 states.[http://publications.tlu.ee/index.php/stss/article/view/761 Donnacha Ó Beacháin: Cheque-Mates?
