This paper explores the interconnection between historical memory, economic development, and sustainable tourism in Georgia through an interdisciplinary analytical framework. Drawing on perspectives from history, economics, and tourism studies, the research emphasizes how collective memory and cultural heritage function not only as identity-forming elements but also as strategic resources for regional development. The study examines selected Georgian historical landscapes and cultural sites to demonstrate how memory-based tourism contributes to local economies, employment generation, and social cohesion while preserving authenticity and cultural continuity. Particular attention is given to sustainability principles, including community participation, heritage conservation, and  balanced economic growth. The findings highlight that integrating historical memory into tourism planning strengthens long-term economic resilience and enhances Georgia’s competitiveness as a cultural tourism destination. The paper contributes to ongoing debates on sustainable development by proposing a model in which heritage preservation and economic progress are mutually reinforcing rather than conflicting objectives.

This study investigates the linguistic structures and discursive strategies that shaped diplomatic relations among major world powers during the first half of the twentieth century. By analyzing official correspondence, treaties, speeches, and diplomatic notes, the paper demonstrates how language functioned as a strategic instrument of power, persuasion, and ideological positioning. The research highlights key rhetorical patterns such as formal politeness, ambiguity, implicit threat, and symbolic legitimization, which reflected broader geopolitical tensions and shifting alliances. The interdisciplinary approach, combining historical analysis and linguistic interpretation, reveals that diplomatic language was not merely descriptive but performative—actively shaping international relations and political outcomes. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how linguistic choices influenced diplomacy during periods of global conflict and transformation, offering insights relevant to both historical scholarship and contemporary diplomatic studies.
