Reconfigurations of Political Space in the Caucasus : Power Practices, Governance and Transboundary Flows Paperback / softback
Edited by Franziska (German Institute of International and Security Affairs, Berlin, Germany) Smolnik, Andrea Weiss
Paperback / softback
Description
In order to analyse configurations of power that transcend the territorial trap, the Caucasus is an excellent case in point.
Its past and present exhibit an extraordinary richness in power practices of diverse forms that intersect on various scales.
This comprehensive volume offers an innovative procedural perspective on the actual workings of power not necessarily tied to the nation-state.
Its focus goes well beyond national scales to tackle the manifold impacts of transboundary flows.
The authors, from a wide range of academic disciplines, provide original empirical data from this intriguing but largely untapped region, with respect to the critical study of statehood.
They also shed light on the diversity of political space and the ongoing process of spatial re-alignment.
The chapters in this collection focus on: land governance practice in the North Caucasus; practices of local administration in Georgia; Shia influence from Iran in Azerbaijan; and trajectories of Ottoman influence in Adjara and Abkhazia respectively.
They cover the South as well as North Caucasus, examining configurations of power that entangle smaller and larger scales, and providing perspectives on transboundary flows between the area and both Turkey and Iran. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Eurasian Geography and Economics.
