The paper discusses the transit potential of Georgia, the types of transport involved in transit activities, and transport infrastructure as a factor in the country's sustainable economic development. The paper examines opportunities arising from the country's favourable geographical location at the junction of Europe and Asia and the newly emerging geopolitical landscape, which could turn Georgia into a regional transport hub in the South Caucasus and Central Asia.References
