The article is dedicated to the study of the dynamics and ways of developing Georgia-US economic relations during the presidency of Mikheil Saakashvili in Georgia. The motives for the formation and strengthening of close economic relations between the parties are discussed in details, as well as the success achieved as a result of the frequent meetings of senior officials of the two countries. US Presidents George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's administrations' foreign economic and political approaches to Georgia, especially since the Rose Revolution in 2013, have been explored and studied. The role and significance of the bilateral documents on financial and economic relations signed between the parties were analyzed. Various facts have been observed that have hampered the multifaceted and balanced development of the Georgian economy. Particular attention is paid to the development of the economic relations between Georgia and the Russian Federation. The article also provides a comparative analysis of the volume of trade turnover (export and import) by year. ; Հոդվածը նվիրված է Վրաստանում Միխեիլ Սաակաշվիլիի նախագահության տարիներին Վրաստան-ԱՄՆ տնտեսական հարաբերությունների զարգացման դինամիկայի և ուղիների ուսումնասիրությանը: Մանրամասնորեն լուսաբանված են կողմերի միջև սերտ տնտեսական հարաբերությունների ձևավորման և ամրապնդման դրդապաճառները, ինչպես նաև երկու երկրների բարձրագույն պաշտոնյաների հաճախակի հանդիպումների արդյունքում ձեռքբերված հաջողությունները: Վերհանվել և ուսումնասիրվել են ԱՄՆ-ի նախագահներ՝ Ջորջ Բուշ Կրտսեր և Բարաք Օբամայի վարչակազմերի արտաքին տնտեսական ու քաղաքական մոտեցումները Վրաստանի նկատմամբ, հատկապես Վարդերի հեղափոխությունից մինչև 2013 թ.: Վերլուծվել են կողմերի միջև ֆինանսատնտեսական հարաբերությունների վերաբերյալ ստորագրված երկկողմ փաստաթղթերի դերն ու նշանակությունը: Դիտարկվել են տարաբնույթ փաստեր, որոնք խոչընդոտել են Վրաստանի տնտեսության բազմակող և համաչափ զարգացմանը: Առանձնակի ուշադրություն է դարձված Վրաստանի և Ռուսաստանի Դաշնության միջև տնտեսական հարաբերությունների զարգացման ընթացքին: Հոդվածում կարևոր տեղ է զբաղեցնում նաև ապրանքաշրջանառության (արտահանման և ներկրման) ծավալների համեմատական վերլուծությունն ըստ տարեթվերի: ; Статья посвящена изучению динамики и путей развития грузино-американских экономических отношений в период президентства Михаила Саакашвили в Грузии.

It is obvious that most of the agricultural production in the world is under the control of farm households (or family farms). This book aims to translate the characteristics of the farm household as an economic entity, into an economic theory. The book was originally written in Japanese, but various modifications have been made and new information added to the English version. The author defines the farm household as an economic entity which is a complex of the farm firm, the labourer's household and the consumer's household, and whose behavioural principle is utility maximization. The main purpose of the book is to construct a theoretical model of the decision-making behaviour of the farm household. For this purpose the method of subjective equilibrium analysis, which was used by J.R. Hicks for the consumer's household and the firm in Value and Capital, has been applied to the farm household. The major motif of the book may therefore be called ``Hicksian motif''. In analyzing the subjective equilibrium of the farm household, this book extends the Marshallian concepts of consumer's surplus and producer's surplus, by developing the three new concepts of labourer's surplus, self-employed producer's surplus and consumer's surplus. The analyses using the five concepts of economic surplus are the minor motif of the present book, which the author calls ``Marshallian motif''. Another important characteristic of this book lies in the presentation of newly developed theories of land rent. The author has tried to integrate the theory of leasehold tenancy (i.e. fixed rent tenancy) and that of share tenancy with subjective equilibrium theory of the farm household. In his foreword, John W. Longworth of the International Association of Agricultural Economists says ``From time-to-time an academic treatise appears which is truly different. This is one such book. It presents a self-contained normative theory of the farm household which is much more than just an elegant development of Hicksian and Marshallian ideas. Professor Nakajima introduces new concepts and develops a simple model of the farm household. He then extends this model in various ways to examine the subjective equilibrium of farm households under a wide range of economic circumstances. The exposition is clear and logic with each step in the argument explained in detail using both rigorous mathematical notation and easy to follow diagrams ... With this book Nakajima is making his Life's Work available to non ...
