Abstract Corporate social responsibility in Georgia is a very disputable phenomenon, mostly because of the tribal character of the region’s political transformation. Business elites do not cooperate with society, but place themselves above it. Exception from this general rule may be made of situations when they strive for political legitimacy (B. Iwaniszwili). Nowadays business in Georgia is not interested in developing corporate social responsibility. Georgian businessman perceive it more as a significant expense than an investment. Public authorities are deprived of sufficient control over private business sector to force the implementation of riles of corporate responsibility.
