Она нацелена на осмысление логики действий грузинского руководства в условиях современной международно-политической турбулентности с опорой на многофакторный анализ и метод прогнозирования. Автор рассматривает американо-грузинские отношения как целостную систему со своими структурно-функциональными связями и выделяет в них две значимые и независимые переменные – устойчивость нынешней власти в Грузии и степень ее поддержки американской администрацией. На основе комбинации этих переменных предлагается четыре сценария развития американо-грузинских отношений – «восстановление диалога», «крушение мечты», «индифферентные отношения», «авторитарный откат» – и представляются краткосрочные прогнозы.Научная новизна статьи определяется двумя положениями. Во-первых, Грузия рассматривается не как объект политики крупных держав, а как субъект со своими интересами и возможностью самостоятельно выбирать путь своего политического развития. Во-вторых, в силу актуальности последних событий в Грузии (конституционный кризис и протесты осени 2024 г.) в российской политической науке еще не предпринимались попытки проанализировать приостановку американо-грузинского стратегического партнерства в корреляции с внутриполитическими изменениями в самой Грузии.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article analyzes the changing position of Georgia in the relations with the United States against the background of the crisis of strategic partnership. Based on the multi-factor analysis and forecasting, the research is aimed at understanding the logic of the Georgian leadership’s actions in the context of the present-day international political turbulence. The author considers the US – Georgian relations as an integral system with its own structural and functional links and identifies the two significant and independent variables in them – the stability of the current government in Georgia and the degree of its support by the American administration. Grounded on a combination of those variables, four scenarios for the development of the US – Georgian relations are proposed – the “restoration of the dialogue”, the “collapse of the dream”, the “relations of indifference” and the “authoritarian rollback”; short-term forecasts are also presented.The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the two provisions. First, Georgia is viewed not as an object of the policy of the major powers, but as a subject with its own interests and the ability to independently choose the path of its political development. Second, due to the relevance of the recent events in Georgia (the constitutional crisis and the 2024 autumn protests), Russian political science has not yet attempted to analyze the suspension of the U.S.-Georgian strategic partnership in correlation with the internal political changes in Georgia itself.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>американо-грузинские отношения</kwd><kwd>Грузия</kwd><kwd>«Грузинская мечта»</kwd><kwd>стратегическое партнерство</kwd><kwd>США</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Georgia</kwd><kwd>“Georgian Dream”</kwd><kwd>strategic partnership</kwd><kwd>USA</kwd><kwd>US – Georgian relations</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Васильева, Бахтуридзе 2015 – Васильева Н.А., Бахтуридзе З.З.
