Acknowledging the increased security challenges in Eastern Europe, this paper aims to unpack the role and perception of the EU as a resilience promoter; and whether and how Georgia’s case illustrates resilience while dealing with external ‘shocks’. This article argues that the demeanour and political narrative of the Georgian government is influenced by immediate security threats and the vulnerability of state institutions. At the same time, it finds that societal resilience is a positive source of transformation in the country. The article employs discourse and content analysis to identify whether Georgia’s official position has been in line with the quickly changing European integration dynamic.
