	EurasiaNet Eurasia Insight - Georgia’s Government Grapples With Promoting the Rule of Law in Western Provinces
		Officials in Georgia are concerned that rising tension in the breakaway region of Abkhazia may spill over into the neighboring regions of Samegrelo and Imereti, where Tbilisi is already struggling to promote order.
		Samegrelo and Imereti are viewed by top members of Saakashvili’s administration as Georgia’s "heartland." Strengthening the political infrastructure of the two regions, thus, is essential if the central government is to achieve his overall objective of re-establishing Tbilisi’s authority across all Georgian territory, especially in the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
		That Saakashvili turned to Getsadze and Ugulava to address the challenges in Imereti and Samegrelo suggests that the president lacks trust in his main political power base, the National Movement, as a means for filling important posts in the provinces.
