Small businesses and new adaptation capacities in Georgia and Kazakhstan
The Transformation of Green Zones in Yerevan, Armenia
The layout of the contemporary Armenian capital Yerevan is based on a 1924 master plan by the Soviet Armenian architect Alexander Tamanyan, who was inspired by the English concept of the 'garden city'. Still, the city has a much longer 'green tradition' that is documented for pre-Soviet times and might reach back to - or at least allude to - the parks and gardens of ancient Mesopotamia. In this article, we give insights into this local green trad…
Informal Markets and Trade in Central Asia and the Caucasus
Traders, Informal Trade and Markets between the Caucasus and China
Negotiating state and society
This special issue introduces new research on informal markets and trade in Central Asia and the Caucasus. The research presented here was conducted in Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as Beijing, Guangzhou, Yiwu and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China. The following eight articles illustrate how informal markets and trade in Central Asia and the Caucasus provided spaces for people across the region to negotiate sta…
Doing business in Yabaolu Market, Beijing
Based on ethnographic fieldwork in China and Georgia, this article traces the origins and describes current practices of post-Soviet tourist trading in Yabaolu Market in Beijing.

Focusing on a typical trade visit, the article explores the role of ethnic and kinship ties in the organization of this trade. It questions …
The ignoble savage in urban Yerevan
This article focuses on a recent development in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, described by its urban population as a ruralization process. I explore what it means to call something or someone ‘rural’ or ‘urban’, and I compare the social category of ‘rural people’ with the social category of the (old) urban intelligentsia. This includes an analysis and reconsideration of the traditional ‘nature–culture dichotomy’ and its meaning for the architect…

Mit ihren Gegensätzen aus Ordnung und Unordnung ist sie ein Prisma für viele Entwicklungen und Ereignisse der Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft der Region. Dieses Buch beinhaltet eine detaillierte ethnographische Beschreibung des alltäglichen Lebens, der Wohnstrukturen und Bautätigkeiten in der armenischen Hauptstadt. Dabei werden unter anderem soziale Ordnunge…
