WiP: “From the Black Sea Coast to the World. Maritime Approaches to Soviet Georgian History”

In 1967, the Soviet People’s Ministry of Merchant Marine decided to decentralize the merchant fleet and give every coastal republic its own ministry and maritime infrastructure. This was the birth of a Soviet success story, as within less than 10 years, the merchant fleet became the third strongest after the American and British ones.

WiP: “Interest Groups in the USSR: The View from the Construction of the Tbilisi Metro”

The relations among the former union republics of the USSR is a main discussion topic in international relations, but this cannot not be understood without its history as a domestic relationship within the USSR. In this study, Mitsuru Hobara analyzes the political processes at the union republic level, perceiving the union republic as an "interest group" and describing its center-local relationship and local autonomy, through a focus on the construction of the Tbilisi Metro.

WiP: “Creeping Authoritarianism in Higher Education and Research in Georgia: What A Difference A War Makes?”

The piece argues that the creeping authoritarianism manifest today in the political, civic, media-information and arts-cultural spheres under Georgian Dream is also taking place in the academic sphere, albeit ‘under the radar’.

WiP: “The Trojan Horse of Saint George on Freedom Square”

How has Freedom Square gone so spectacularly wrong? The message of Tbilisi's main square seems to be that citizenship does not matter. The square conveys this through a bombastic central column; with Saint George on top, who on closer inspection turns out to be a Trojan horse of sorts; with the buildings that now encircle the square; and with how citizens are constrained when navigating a location that should be theirs. Drawing on an Ethics of Political Commemoration, this analysis will highlight Tallinn's Freedom Monument as an illuminating contrast and conclude by outlining what “liberating Freedom Square” could do for Georgia and its democracy.
