This issue of the Caucasus Analytical Digest examines the relation between Azerbaijan's failed attempt at democratization and government control of the country's petroleum industry. In addition, it features opinion polls on the level of trust in institutions of state and society in the countries of the South Caucasus and public interest in politics and civic engagement. An opinion piece discusses the prospects for democratization in post-conflict Georgia, arguing that the regime is now ready to go back on its previous reforms in order remain in power. The issue ends with a chronicle of regional events for the period 16 December 2008 to 13 January 2009.
