Susanne Fehlings is Senior Researcher at the Frobenius Institute for Research in Cultural Anthropology, Frankfurt am Main. Her regional focus is the Caucasus. She specializes in urban and economic anthropology, the anthropology of the state, and research on bazaars, trade activity and entrepreneurship.
This book illustrates how informal markets and trade in Central Asia and the Caucasus have provided space for millions of people across the region to negotiate changes in state and society in the three decades since the breakup of the Soviet Union and the emergence of successor states.
