This book investigates how borders in former Soviet Union
territories have evolved and shifted in the thirty years since the
end of the Cold War. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 led
to fifteen independent states and numerous de facto states; but
this process of rebordering is not finished, and social, economic,
infrastructural, cultural and political networks and spaces
continue to develop. This book explores the intersection between
these geopolitical shifts and the individual lived experience,
drawing on cases from across border regions in the Caucasus,
Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Throughout, the book introduces
and frames the case studies with well-informed theoretical,
conceptual and methodological overviews that situate them within
border studies in general and post-Soviet border spaces in
particular. Overall, the book demonstrates that like a
kaleidoscope, the dynamic elements in these newly evolved border
regions are similar yet strikingly different in their
juxtapositions, with the appearance of new configurations often
dependent on changing geopolitical constellations. This timely
guide to the post-Soviet world thirty years after the Cold War will
be of interest to researchers across border studies, politics,
geography, social anthropology, history, Eastern European Studies,
Central Asian Studies, and Caucasian Studies.
