Curro, Costanza. "Excessive hospitality: Personhood, moral boundaries and domination around the Georgian table." Journal of Consumer Culture 20, no. 2 (December 31, 2019): 216–34. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1469540519891278.
Full textAbstract:
This article investigates the making of personhood through conspicuous hospitality practices in the Republic of Georgia, focusing on how this process has underpinned moral boundary drawing in Georgia’s recent history – from the late Soviet era, through the 1990s, to the years following the Rose Revolution in 2003. Largely perceived and defined as tradition by local people and external observers, hospitality is a powerful device to organise social relationships and exchanges in the community. Excess is a fundamental feature of hospitality practices: people spend many hours around the table displaying, offering and consuming plenty of food and alcoholic drinks and engaging in conspicuous bodily gestures and speech. Analysing literary and media sources and data collected through participant observation and follow-up interviews, the article explores the way in which shifting moral boundaries drawn upon hospitality practices have transformed domination and counter-domination patterns in Georgian society. From a unifying marker of Georgians’ positive distinctiveness vis-à-vis other people, hospitality’s excesses became a token of increasing socio-economic inequality. The analysis contributes to the understanding of consumption, especially in its excessive aspects, as a fundamental element in the making of individual and collective personhood, which, in turn, shapes boundaries of exclusion and inclusion within and across smaller and larger communities.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract How and to what extent do the European Union’s (EU) presence and projects in Georgia respond to principles and commitments relating to conflict and context sensitivity and local ownership? Drawing on local turns unfolding in both European studies and peace and conflict studies, the article focuses on EU support to Georgian internally displaced persons (IDP s) and discusses how this is received and perceived by actors on the ground in the context of the EU’s crisis response and the post-conflict setting in Georgia. The discussion is based on data from a questionnaire distributed to 40 respondents in three IDP settlements and by seven interviews with Brussels- and Georgia-based EU officials, as well as local and national authorities, non-governmental organization practitioners, and international organizations implementing EU projects in Georgia. Despite the existence of EU-sponsored measures of assistance targeting Georgian IDP s and the overall positive perception of the EU’s role in large sectors of Georgia’s society, the analysis reveals that the EU does not seem to be fully capable of interacting with local stakeholders and beneficiaries in an effective way. This limits the EU’s ability to uphold the principles of local ownership and conflict sensitivity.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Drawing on the case of Georgia, this article seeks to understand better how the EU’s partners adjust to the uncertainty of the EU’s offer as part of the Eastern Partnership, and how their identification narratives evolve in response to this indeterminacy. We use the concept of liminality to capture the imprecision of the EU’s offer and the state of in-betweenness of the EU’s associated partners. Through an analysis of Georgia’s identification practices, we then shed light on how Georgian elites have pushed for an identity-driven self-representation as a key political strategy vis-à-vis the EU. We argue that such repositioning and, more recently, the tactical use of the Association Trio reflect Georgia’s approach to developing its agency in response to uncertainty.

Abstract This article explores the interplay of Georgian national identity and foreign policy in the rhetoric of Mikheil Saakashvili, President of Georgia in 2004–13, and offers a theoretical framework that captures the complex nature of these interactions. Drawing on the scholarly tradition of critical geopolitics, the article examines perceptions and images of the role of Georgia and its position vis-à-vis the external world in the annual addresses delivered to the Parliament of Georgia. More specifically, the article explores four constitutive areas for Georgia’s geopolitical identity – the world, Europe, the United States and Russia – as well as the meanings attached to these spaces. By uncovering how these external spaces have been framed and communicated by President Saakashvili, the article adds to our understanding of the reasoning and ideational determinants of the foreign policy orientation of modern-day Georgia, as well as of the major tenets of its geopolitical identity.

Full textAbstract:
The article introduces one of the documentary sources on the history and ethnography of the Georgian Jews stored in the archive of the Russian Ethnographic Museum – field materials collected by I. M. Pulner in his expeditions to Georgia in 1926, 1928, and 1929. The introductory part of the article provides a brief summary of the main stages of his professional activity, wherein his study of the Georgian Jews ethnography dates back to his student years. The expeditions he carried out at that time were the first experience of purposeful ethnographic study of this Jewish ethnic group. Pulner's field materials accrue special scientific value as they contain real facts and people’s statements, as well as ethnographer’s direct observations, which give a fairly objective idea of everyday culture and socio-economic conditions of the Georgian Jews in the second half of the 1920s. The documents of the archive include expedition journal and report, as well as separate notes on various areas of Georgian Jewish culture. Most notes date from Pulner’s first trip to Kutaisi; in the following two years, he mostly visited villages where the Georgian Jews lived, but the archive of the Museum contains only several his recordings of weather wisdom, culinary recipes, and song lyrics written down in these trips. The article chiefly analyses Pulner’s Kutaisi materials. Drawing on them, methods and peculiarities of his ethnographic work among the local Jews are revealed; areas in which he collected his data are described; certain information is cited concerning occupation, material situation, organization of religious life, specificity of religious rituals performed in synagogue, Sabbath celebration, state of Jewish education following the closure of Jewish schools during the Soviet era, attitude to the ideas of Zionism among the youth, relations (including matrimony) between the mountain Jews, Ashkenazi, and Georgians Jews, traditional dwelling and its decoration, festive and everyday food, clothing, folk sayings, wedding ceremonial rites, etc. Among all occupations, Pulner underscored trade, which remained the main occupation of the Jews of Kutaisi, although it fell into decay under the Soviet rule, forcing Jews to master new professions of porters and water sellers, which were considered lowly occupations in Georgia. Talking about the synagogue, he drew attention to the fact that among the Georgian Jews it was not just a place for performing religious rites, but also the center of the Jewish quarter residents’ social life; he noted the leading role of cantor in synagogue service and detailed its procedure. There are interesting materials about relationship between the Georgian Jews and the Jews of other ethnic groups (mountain, Ashkenazi) demonstrating their distancing, as well as materials on their close cooperation with the Georgians in everyday life. Information on material culture is brief and concerns mainly clothing worn by men and women. Of the wedding rituals, Pulner managed to record only matchmaking rites. He did not succeed in continuing a full-scale study the eorgian Jews, and those materials he collected during his student expeditions remain rare evidence of the Georgian Jews in the Soviet era.

This paper focuses on the levels of foreign direct investments comingto Georgia. The main areas addressed by this study include: how tocreate a favorable investment climate in Georgia and on the possiblemeans of encouragement of FDI inflows in the Georgian economy.This paper aims to fill the knowledge gap in the area of foreign directinvestment (FDI) research in Georgia. Various dimensions of FDIwere analyzed from a comparative perspective drawing on the casestudies of investors in Georgia. The analysis first focused on majorobstacles that investors face while performing. Then, attractive featuresof business climate of Georgia were investigated. Finally, performanceissues confronting FDI firms were analyzed. The studyresults indicated that reasons to invest in Georgia are geopolitical situationand having empty market, and incentives to improve theinvestment climate of Georgia were State guaranties, tax holidays,political stability, development of infrastructure and advertisement.Another result of the study was that Georgian Government doeseverything to have free market conditions and do not intervene to theeconomy. Although the issue of safety affects foreign investors, it doesnot act as a major deterrent of FDI inflows. The most serious probleminfluencing the performance of FDI firms were found to be notenough skilled and educated local labor force, economic and politicaluncertainty. In general, however, it was found that foreign investorshave been satisfied with their performance largely due to the relativelysmooth competition and the availability of several market niches incountry market.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the scope conditions of national role conceptions as reference points for foreign policy decision making during crises. It aims to contribute to a refined perspective of the agency of new states undergoing socialization processes in relations with significant others. Drawing on a primary material consisting of interviews with Georgian and US officials, the article analyzes the significance of Georgia’s role conceptions in the country’s relations with the USA in relation to two major crises: the 2007 riots in Tbilisi and the 2008 war with Russia. The article posits that crises provide situational circumstances where the requirements of appropriate behavior associated with role expectations may enter into conflict with the demands of the immediate situation. In order to resolve ensuing role conflicts, actors face the need to both rationalize role expectations, and to compensate for departures from them. In turn, these strategies relate to the possibility for change and stability in role conceptions, and by extension their enactment in foreign policy. The analysis of the Georgian government’s management of the two crises demonstrates actions that implied both rationalization and compensation, aiming to retain the credibility of its existing role conceptions in the eyes of its US counterparts.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines encounters of women with the criminal justice system in Wales during the century before the Courts of Great Sessions were abolished in 1830. Drawing on evidence from cases of sexual assault and homicide, it argues that women who killed were rarely convicted or punished harshly. A gendered discretion of sorts also acted against rape victims, as trials never resulted in conviction. Using violence as a lens, the paper reveals a distinctively Welsh approach to criminal justice, and offers quantitative evidence on which further comparative studies of the history of law and crime in England and Wales may be based.

Full textAbstract:
Within a global debate around inclusion, there is a shared understanding that teachers’ attitudes are decisive in making inclusive education a reality. Research examining teachers’ attitudes in Georgia towards inclusion is scarce. This paper utilizes an explanatory sequential mixed methods design to examine teachers' attitudes toward inclusion, uncovering their predictors and highlighting the persistent influence of the Soviet legacy of 'defectology' on disability perceptions. Drawing on data obtained from 811 regular and special education teachers of 308 public schools, the study contributes to the global knowledge of the role of teachers' attitudes in promoting inclusion. The study reveals that teachers of Georgia are mostly ‘ableist’ and have deficit views of disability. The paper argues that only long-term training in inclusive practices predicts positive attitudes for both groups of teachers. Special education teachers demonstrate higher willingness for inclusion. Regular teachers spotlight normalcy, reveal low expectations for academic achievement, and focus on behaviour management rather than broader teaching practices. Both groups associate inclusion benefits primarily with social and emotional development. Resistance to inclusion is more prevailing among secondary grades, STEM, Georgian, and English teachers. The findings have policy implications for enhancing education quality for children with disabilities and teachers’ professional development system in Georgia.

Hague, Stephen G. "A modern-built house ... fit for a gentleman : elites, material culture and social strategy in Britain, 1680-1770." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2011. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:2fc553a3-8922-4793-b893-e6686518e61e.
Full textAbstract:
A 1755 advert in the Gloucester Journal listed for sale, 'A MODERN-BUILT HOUSE, with four rooms on a floor, fit for a gentleman'. In the late-seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, 'gentlemen's houses' like the one described evolved as a cultural norm. This thesis offers a social and cultural reading of an under-studied group of small free-standing classical houses built in the west of England between 1680 and 1770. By developing a profile of eighty-one gentlemen's houses and one hundred and thirty-four builders and owners, this study unites subjects such as the history of architecture, landscapes, domestic interiors, objects and social development that are often treated separately. The design, spatial arrangement, and furnishings of gentlemen's houses precisely defined the position of their builders and owners in the social hierarchy. The 1720s marked an important shift in the location and meaning of building that corresponded to an alteration in the background of builders. Small classical houses moved from a relatively novel form of building for the gentry to a conventional choice made by newcomers often from commercial and professional backgrounds. Gentlemen's houses projected status in a range of settings for both landed and non-landed elites, highlighting the house as a form of status-enhancing property rather than land. Moreover, gentlemen's houses had adaptable interior spaces and were furnished with an array of objects that differed in number and quality from those lower and higher in society. The connections between gentlemen's houses and important processes of social change in Britain are striking. House-building and furnishing were measured strategic activities that calibrated social status and illustrated mobility. This thesis demonstrates that gentlemen's houses are one key to understanding the permeability of the English elite as well as the combination of dynamism and stability that characterized eighteenth-century English society.

Bennett, Christina G. "Religious Freedom or Child Abuse? Drawing the Line between Free Excercise and Crimes against Children in Georgia." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2011. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/rs_theses/31.
Full textAbstract:
This project examines how Georgia draws the line between religious freedom and child abuse. In Georgia, certain religious parents are granted spiritual exemptions for conduct that would otherwise be prohibited due to its potential harm to children, while other parents must alter their religious practices to conform to the law. An examination of Georgia law governing conduct that is both religiously-motivated and poses a risk of physical harm to children illustrates that Georgia’s spiritual exemptions have contributed to producing legally-defined religious orthodoxy, inconsistent regulation of religious conduct, and less stringent state protection from harm for the children of some religious parents.

Boyington, Amy. "Maids, wives and widows : female architectural patronage in eighteenth-century Britain." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/271383.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the extent to which elite women of the eighteenth century commissioned architectural works and the extent to which the type and scale of their projects was dictated by their marital status. Traditionally, architectural historians have advocated that eighteenth-century architecture was purely the pursuit of men. Women, of course, were not absent during this period, but their involvement with architecture has been largely obscured and largely overlooked. This doctoral research has redressed this oversight through the scrutinising of known sources and the unearthing of new archival material. This thesis begins with an exploration of the legal and financial statuses of elite women, as encapsulated by the eighteenth-century marriage settlement. This encompasses brides’ portions or dowries, wives’ annuities or ‘pin-money’, widows’ dower or jointure, and provisions made for daughters and younger children. Following this, the thesis is divided into three main sections which each look at the ways in which women, depending upon their marital status, could engage in architecture. The first of these sections discusses unmarried women, where the patronage of the following patroness is examined: Anne Robinson; Lady Isabella Finch; Lady Elizabeth Hastings; Sophia Baddeley; George Anne Bellamy and Teresa Cornelys. The second section explores the patronage of married women, namely Jemima Yorke, Marchioness Grey; Amabel Hume-Campbell, Lady Polwarth; Mary Robinson, Baroness Grantham; Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough; Frances Boscawen; Elizabeth Herbert, Countess of Pembroke and Montgomery; Henrietta Knight, Baroness Luxborough and Lady Sarah Bunbury. The third and final section discusses the architectural patronage of widowed women, including Susanna Montgomery, Countess of Eglinton; Georgianna Spencer, Countess Spencer; Elizabeth Somerset, Duchess of Beaufort; Elizabeth Home, Countess of Home; Elizabeth Montagu; Mary Hervey, Lady Hervey; Henrietta Fermor, Countess of Pomfret; the Hon. Charlotte Digby; the Hon. Charlotte Boyle Walsingham; the Hon. Agneta Yorke and Albinia Brodrick, Viscountess Midleton. Collectively, all three sections advocate that elite women were at the heart of the architectural patronage system and exerted more influence and agency over architecture than has previously been recognised by architectural historians.

AbstractOver 200,000 Armenians became displaced persons during the First World War as a result of the war on the Caucasus battlefront and the genocide in the Ottoman Empire. Drawing upon previously untapped material from Armenian, Georgian, and Russian archives and libraries, this chapter reflects on that mass population movement, examines the resulting humanitarian crisis, and analyzes Armenian refugee relief work. It shows that because of the complex structure of the empire, the nature of humanitarianism in imperial Russia was multilayered and heterogeneous. To control and coordinate the large population movements in the eastern occupied regions of the Ottoman Empire and in Transcaucasia, imperial Russian authorities needed to organize and facilitate proper registration of refugees: a challenging task in times of war, epidemics, and humanitarian crises. They also had to define who was and who wasn’t a refugee.This chapter reflects on Russian military and civil authorities’ responses to the refugee movements in newly occupied areas of the Ottoman Empire—Erzincan, Bayburt, Erzurum— in summer 1916 and emphasizes the new directions and challenges of relief work. It shows how the relief committees and agencies adjusted to the changing dynamics on the warfront and in the occupied regions and shaped their relief strategies and methods according to the emerging needs of various categories of refugees. Hence, it contributes to key discussions in interdisciplinary research on refugees and to the emerging literature on relations between humanitarianism and imperialism. Finally, it offers a more nuanced understanding of Armenian-Russian relations in this period.

Songs about sailors were popular during the late Georgian period in Britain. Some were directed towards men in the navy or potential recruits, but they were also part of the musical repertoire of the middle-class drawing room. A common theme is the importance of family life. With large numbers of men needed to serve in the military in this time of war and colonial expansion, it was essential for the home front that their families remained cohesive, and ballads were sometimes written with the express purpose of promoting fidelity and patience on the part of both men and women. This chapter examines the varieties of family and conjugal relations presented in the verbal and musical rhetoric of a selection of these songs.

This chapter examines the satirical print. The single-sheet satirical print was fundamentally a social form; it was designed to be seen, enjoyed, and lingered over by the group far more than the solitary reader. As the sites of display and modes of engagement that structured the culture of caricature make abundantly clear, prints not only invited but were in many ways predicated on practices of communal reading and consumption. Most obviously, the exhibition of engravings, satirical and otherwise, in the shopwindows of London's print sellers—a ubiquitous custom by the midcentury—ensured that prints were part of the texture of everyday pedestrian experience in Georgian London. Equally, within the home, especially the houses of the gentry and aristocracy, graphic satire was principally to be found in the communal space and rituals of the drawing room.

First performed at the Dublin Gate Theatre in 1931, Mary Manning’s Youth’s the Season–? depicts three days in the life of a particularly morose group of Dublin upper-class twenty-somethings as they slouch through their Georgian houses and mope in drawing rooms, feigning attempts at escaping their disaffected existence. While this representation of the youngest generation of the bourgeoisie is ostensibly comical, Youth’s the Season–? ends on a much darker note as it violently renounces the notion that the Ascendancy has any meaningful legacy in an independent Ireland. Furthermore, Manning’s characters are inhibited by the trauma of growing up during the cataclysmic years of the revolutionary period in Ireland (1916-1923). Accordingly, this chapter illustrates how the disaffected antics that Manning depicts are pathological responses to a world in which their social class has become obsolescent.

This chapter describes the water resources of Georgia, characterizing them from a historical point of view and demonstrating their contemporary role in the country. The discussion further refers to the water monitoring system in Georgia, featuring both modern and old irrigation systems used in the country. Various anti-drought rituals practiced in old times are also listed in the chapter. The drinking water supply system of ancient times together with old and modern water treatment methods are sufficiently detailed. Parallels are drawn between what alchemists and Georgian King, Vakhtang VI, thought of drinking water purity. The chapter investigates whether the same issues are faced by modern science, as noted in the book by the Georgian king, and specifically, what method of water purification was preferred by him. Ancient Georgian baths and materials for water utensil production are also reviewed in the chapter.

Abstract At the end of James Joyce’s “Araby,” the protagonist finds himself walking through a large charity bazaar, gazing into the just-darkened upper galleries, as the last of the stalls close around him. He has arrived too late to succeed in his quest of obtaining a memento for the girl he longs to please, and his sense of failure and disillusionment is palpable. One might assume that Joyce was taking a decidedly Modernist stance in utilizing a quintessentially Victorian bazaar as a setting for ironic reflection. Yet, Joyce was actually drawing upon an established cultural and literary trope. A close look at nineteenth-century bazaars demonstrates that these philanthropic marketplaces were defying expectations and inviting self-critique from their inception. Bazaars distilled the very essence of Victorian philanthropic moral earnestness while at the same time allegorizing the futile and alienating excesses of Victorian ethics and might. They were sites of strident advocacy and yet also of pointed critique. This book parses the culture and literature of the British charity bazaar, from its origins in the Georgian period, through the nineteenth century to the time of Joyce, exploring the complex and contradictory characteristics that made it a vital fundraising method, a means of explicit and defiant political engagement for women, and a literary device that reshapes our understanding of Victorian social reform fiction.

The introduction sets out the central aim of the book to rediscover the emotional experience of courtship, asking, what did it mean to marry in Georgian England? It introduces the sixty key couples from a broad variety of social and occupational groups, using materials drawn from thirty archives and museum collections. The chapter foregrounds the interdisciplinary methodologies used throughout the book, which draw upon anthropology, art history, literary theory, philosophy, and psychology to examine the cultural codes of love.

Abstract The genesis of this book lies in the 1970s. It was then, as a postgraduate and new lecturer, that I was working on the history of eighteenth-century Bath, as part of a wider project investigating the development of fashionable culture in English provincial towns between 1660 and 1770. This resulted in the publication of The English Urban Renaissance (1989). The title was chosen to emphasize the dynamic nature of urban life in the post-Restoration years, after what some had argued to be an era of declining cultural prestige for provincial towns, and to stress the classical basis of the revival under way. Having completed a macro-study of this renaissance, it seemed natural to turn my attention to a micro-study of its most dazzling progeny, Georgian Bath. Yet what emerged, as I was drawn into the subject, was not an orthodox local history of the city from 1700 to 1830, but an exploration of the image of Georgian Bath between the early eighteenth century and the late twentieth century. This fundamental change in perspective derived from two impulses; a concern with the manner in which the past is remodelled, repackaged, and redeployed by each generation, and an interest in the process of representation. It is clear, at least in retrospect, that this shift in focus towards the way that the past is constructed and images of it created was a response on my part to the practical activity of making history, and doing so in the changing milieu of the final decades of the twentieth century.

Abstract The Eastern International as a blueprint for anticolonial and anti-imperialist revolution in the East was imagined in 1918 by the assimilated Jewish Bolshevik activist Konstantin Troianovskii, who became the first head the Comintern’s Near East Section in the early 1920s. Endorsed by Lenin and Stalin, this plan represented the Bolsheviks’ response to the reconfiguration of the world order at the end of World War I. Drawing upon European geographers and theorists of geopolitics, Troianovskii worked to “territorialize” his vision by helping to build a revolutionary network linking Moscow with “the Near East” (meaning Turkey, Iran, and the Arab world) through key outposts in Tashkent, Bukhara, and the seaports of Odessa and Batumi (in Georgia).

Full textAbstract:
This chapter investigates the archaeological landscapes of the frontiers of the Sasanian Empire. Drawing on evidence from current and archived archaeological surveys, in combination with high-resolution remote sensing datasets such as CORONA spy photography, we compare the organisation of settlements and defensive structures of the Sasanian frontier zones in response to a variety of external pressures. These varied from the Roman Empire in the west to less centralised entities, including nomadic groups, in the south-west and north-east. Following a general discussion of the multiple manifestations of Sasanian frontiers drawn from southern Mesopotamia (Iraq), northern Syria and north-eastern Iran, the main focus of the chapter is on the complex frontier landscape of the southern Caucasus, particularly the area of modern Azerbaijan, Georgia and Daghestan. We discuss the role of linear barriers, including the Gorgan Wall in north-eastern Iran and the Ghilghilchay and Derbent Walls in the Caucasus, irrigation systems, and alignments of fortifications and settlements in shaping their local landscapes. By placing the archaeological remains of the Sasanian Empire in a wider context we are able to examine the relationships between military installations, settlement patterns, infrastructure and geographical features such as mountain ranges and rivers. Comparing the different case studies allows us to conclude with some general statements on the nature of Sasanian power in the frontier territories of the empire.

Full textAbstract:
The article explores the use of English lexemes in Georgian informational-analytical electronic journals and discusses different approaches to the influx of Anglicisms. The paper highlights the fact that attention-drawing strands through intensive use of English vocabulary in journalists’ speech leads to an encounter with a number of English terms that do not fit the current standard of normative speech in Georgian. Nevertheless, the paper asserts that the influx of English lexemes in the Georgian language is predominantly caused by speakers’ desire for economy of form. Instead of providing a partial semantic or explanatory equivalent in their native language, speakers attempt to cover a complex or abstract notion by a straightforward, laconic English lexeme. The study maintains the idea that such non-native units appear to be more cognitively secure and semantically valid. They operate from the solid foundation of the source language and contribute mainly to the formation of syntagmatic units with strong predictability of a new flow of loanword integration into Georgian.

Full textAbstract:
In accordance with the requirements of the "Local Self-Government Code", for the purpose of equal socio-economic development of the entire territory of the country, the relevant state authorities should establish relevant state standards and technical regulations in the field of self-governments' own and delegated powers. In local self-governments, the issue of budgetary independence and sustainable development of the municipal economy is even more difficult considering the Russia-Ukraine war and the unpredictable processes taking place in the world. Based on the current situation, local self-governments should develop an economic policy designed for internal and external risks. It is necessary to increase the competence of civil servants of local self-governments and accordingly to increase the share of local self-governments' own revenues in the total municipal budget. Local self-governments, in order to ensure the implementation of their powers, should support the local business sector as much as possible in order to additionally create new jobs. Local self-governments should develop such local development plans that take into account local capabilities as much as possible and ensure sustainable socio-economic development of citizens living in local self-governments. When drawing up local development plans, the experience of foreign developed countries and local self-governments should be used as much as possible. If necessary, local self-governments of Georgia should establish joint ventures with friendly foreign cities. Mutual sharing of experience and introduction of modern European innovations and innovations in local self-governments of Georgia should be done as much as possible. There are important measures to be taken in local self-governments, in the direction of reducing corruption, nepotism and shadow economy. One of the important problems in local self-governments is low competence of civil servants, lack of local initiatives, underestimation of successful civil servants. The created situation significantly worsens the quality of work of local self-governments and promotes the outflow of professional staff from local self-governments. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the demographic situation in the local governments (as well as in the whole country) has significantly deteriorated. If we do not confront the created situation with a sound and effective demographic policy, then the situation will become even more complicated in the near future, which may lead to a national catastrophe. The situation created in the world and in the region is very unusual, hence the socio-economic policy developed by the local self-governments is also unusual and should be calculated on external and internal risks.

Faculty of Economics and Social Development, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.22616/esrd.2023.57.010.
Full textAbstract:
The Blue Economy is a relatively new concept that relies on sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs while preserving health of ocean systems. This concept has lately been regarded as a very promising tool in achieving several Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Understanding and proper implementation of the Blue Economy principles in coastline territories have become urgent and topical issues. The purpose of this study is to analyse and assess the feasibility and potential of introducing a fish and seafood production sector in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara, which is located in Georgia. The current study explores the opportunities, challenges, and potential benefits associated with establishing such sector in this region, characterizes existing aquaculture farms and identifies reasons that hinder the increase of farms’ productivity. In scope of this study, a survey of 70 fish farms was carried out, and the research results highlight possibilities to develop scenarios for further field development where collaboration between aquaculture farms and the government can be identified as crucial issues to stimulate the production of fish products. By summarizing the research results and analysing the data, the following conclusions can be drawn: Georgia faces a challenge in introducing the modern Blue Economy and its principles; the existing aquaculture farms in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara have low productivity; farmers lack the necessary knowledge for sector development; it is crucial to strengthen aquaculture farms with government support.

Full textAbstract:
Dynamic stall has been studied for more than fifty years; in the last decade significant advances have been accomplished in the understanding, prediction, modeling and control of dynamic stall on rotors. In September 2019, an Army Research Office-funded workshop was held at the Georgia Institute of Technology to evaluate the state of the art and future directions in the understanding and control of dynamic stall found on rotors, specifically for vertical lift vehicles. Approximately forty attendees drawn from top experts in the field to graduate students convened to discuss experimental, computational, theoretical, and control research in the field over a two-day period. This paper provides a summary of the findings from this workshop, including a synopsis of best practices for experiments and first-principles-based computational prediction of rotor dynamic stall. Experimental data sets are discussed, as well the direction of research for empirical (non-first-principles) modeling and control of dynamic stall.

Full textAbstract:
The paper assesses confrontation as one of the main challenges of modernity affecting social relations, economic development, food security, political activities and other issues. Determining ways to reduce the negative impact of confrontation is considered an important condition for achieving the goals of sustainable development of agro-food production and food security. The article discusses the types of confrontation, analyzes the opinions of scientists, and substantiates that the shocks caused by the confrontation have a direct and indirect effect on production. Food security at the global level is assessed according to the levels of phases (IPC/CH), the number of people in food crisis is analyzed according to the causes of the crisis. It was revealed that the crisis caused by the conflict affects the majority of the population. In order to evaluate the impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine on agro-food production, the indicators of the production of several basic food products in Russia and Ukraine were studied and conclusions were drawn on the trends formed during the conflict. The article analyzes the indicators of the production of basic food products in Ukraine and Russia, their share in the global food production is estimated. Also, the export volume of basic food products from these countries is given and their share in the global food export volume is determined. The paper presents the export of agro-food products from Georgia to Ukraine and Russia, as well as the import of agro-food products from Ukraine and Russia to Georgia. The conclusion is made that the export-import indicators with Ukraine have decreased, while with Russia the mentioned indicators have increased. The paper provides conclusions on the consequences of the negative impact of the confrontation on agricultural production, recommendations on ways to overcome uncertainty caused by conflicts and define expectations are developed. Keywords: Confrontation, agro-food production, direct and indirect impact, uncertainty, expectation.

Struthers, Kim. Natural resource conditions at Fort Pulaski National Monument: Findings and management considerations for selected resources. National Park Service, December 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/2300064.
Full textAbstract:
The National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division’s Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) Program initiated an NRCA project with Fort Pulaski National Monument (FOPU) in 2022. The purpose of an NRCA is to synthesize information related to the primary drivers and stressors affecting natural resource conditions at a park and to report conditions for natural resource topics selected by park managers. Resource conditions are evaluated as either a condition assessment or a gap analysis, depending on data availability. For FOPU’s NRCA, managers selected salt marsh, shorebirds, Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), and butterflies as the focal resources. FOPU is comprised of two islands in coastal Georgia, McQueens and Cockspur, which are separated by the Savannah River near its confluence with the Atlantic Ocean. Cockspur Island contains the 19th century masonry fort, Fort Pulaski, and the monument’s visitor services and facilities and is primarily constructed with dredge material from the Savannah River. McQueens Island is almost entirely salt marsh habitat and most of its area is eligible federal wilderness, containing one of Georgia’s oyster recreational harvest areas (RHAs), Oyster Creek RHA. Both McQueens and Cockspur islands are designated as a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Marine Protected Area (MPA), underscoring FOPU’s natural resource significance. Riverine, freshwater, and estuarine wetlands cover 83.81% of FOPU, with the latter accounting for almost 99% of all monument wetlands. Persistently emergent vegetation of smooth cordgrasses (Spartina spp.) and unconsolidated shore represent the dominant wetland types. McQueens Island estuarine wetlands were evaluated for 11 functions and were rated primarily as high functioning, except for the wetland north of Highway 80, where the causeway has altered its ability to function properly. The wetland west of the Highway 80 bend is composed of unconsolidated material so was rated as moderately functioning in carbon sequestration, retention of sediments, and shore stabilization. In contrast, the unconsolidated shore wetland in the Oyster Creek RHA, where the highest concentration of FOPU’s oysters occurs, were rated high for all expected wetland functions. In 2013, over 75% of the total oyster area from within four of Georgia’s RHAs was in the Oyster Creek RHA. A spectral analysis of oyster density in Oyster Creek RHA, comparing 2013 and 2018 images, reported an increase in the high-density class, a decrease in the moderate-low class, and an increase in the no oyster class, with the latter likely a function of how oyster areas were drawn between the images. A successful 2013 enhanced reef project in Oyster Creek RHA reported a pre-enhancement oyster area of 2.68 m2 (28.8 ft2) that increased to 894.2 m2 (0.22 ac) of oysters by 2018. FOPU’s extensive salt marsh habitat and beaches provide critical food sources and habitat for shorebirds in the Atlantic Flyway, especially during the pre-breeding season. The American Oystercatcher (Haematopus palliates), Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus), and the federally threatened rufa subspecies of Red Knot (Calidris canutus rufa) are identified as high priority species in the flyway and have been observed on Cockspur Island during the Manomet International Shorebird Surveys (2019–2022) at FOPU. The USFWS (2023) is seeking additional critical habitat designation, which will include Cockspur Island, for the rufa subspecies of Red Knot, whose estimated population abundance trend is declining throughout its entire range. FOPU’s non-wetland, upland habitat is primarily located on Cockspur Island and supports vegetation that can serve as host, roost and/or nectar plants for pollinators, especially butterflies. Cedar–Live Oak–Cabbage Palmetto (Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola–Q. virginiana–Sabal palmetto) Marsh Hammock and Cabbage Palmetto Woodland contain the most diversity of beneficial butterfly plants. While a comprehensive butterfly inventory is needed, fall migration surveys have recorded three target species of the Butterflies of the Atlantic Flyway (BAFA): monarch (Danaus plexippus), gulf fritillary (Agraulis vanillae), and cloudless sulphur (Phoebis sennae). Collectively, FOPU’s natural resources are affected by the sea level, which has risen by 0.35 m (1.15 ft) from 1935 to 2022. Hardened shorelines, such as causeways or armored structures, are identified as the greatest threat to the salt marsh habitat’s ability to migrate upland with continued sea level rise. Erosion along Cockspur Island’s north shore is an ongoing issue and FOPU managers have been working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop solutions to address the erosion, while also creating habitat for shorebirds. Several agencies routinely monitor for water and sediment pollution in and around FOPU, which, if managed collectively, can inform landscape-level management actions to address drivers that are influencing resource conditions at the ecosystem level.
