Project Description

The project’s overall objective is to inform relevant local and international stakeholders and contribute to more evidence-based programming addressing the rise of far-right extremism in Georgia. Within the framework of this project CSD will explore the mobilization strategies and recruitment mechanisms of far-right organizations in the region.

The aims of the research are to:

1. Categorize existing far-right groups in Georgia by their macro-identity profiles and provide an in-depth case study analysis of a group per identified macro-identity.

2. Identify the "mobilization and recruitment pools" for organizations with different macro-identities and study potential affiliates' demographic, social, economic, political, religious, and gender parameters to detect the root causes of their vulnerability.

3. Detect, define, and analyze each procedural component of far-right mobilization and recruitment in Georgia.

4. Explain the mobilization strategies and recruitment mechanisms of far-right actors in Georgia, provide rationale for their selection, and assess their efficiency.

5. Assist the donor agency and CSD in building an evidence-based, context-tailored intervention strategy and action plan against far-right mobilization and recruitment in Georgia.
