Abstract

While much has since been written on Georgia's Rose Revolution, few studies can discourse the subject objectively all the while those that do elude designs of formal methods by eliciting details from political history. For explanations of how Georgia sustained independence amid secessionist movements within its own borders means understanding these initial ends beyond history—as a double security dilemma, nationalistic-realism, and illiberal democracy—by a revolution from above. So by applying the principles from a 2 on 3 Player-Decision Game with a Challenger, Defender, and Mediator, a status-quo in decline jeopardizes one side against the other whose rise reflects the realities of "loss aversion" rather than expected utility as incomplete information (about credibility, capability) expresses definitive uncertainty through a fourfold Perfect Bayesian Equilibria (Settlement, Separation, Standby, Sucker). For given the real potential taken with exogenous intervention (NATO, Russia, US) amid an asymmetric status-quo, Post-Soviet Georgia reflects the same difference in position since all sides believe they can legitimate their claims to self-determination thus symbolized from the coercive-bargaining of not carrots nor sticks but as a rose by any other name. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
