Caucasus Research Resource Centers  About the Tbilisi CASE In partnership with the Eurasia Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York, NCEEER has launched a network of research resource centers--Caucasus Research Resource Centers (CRRC)--serving the three South Caucasus countries. The CRRC Centers are aimed at strengthening social science research and public policy analysis by providing open access to fundamental literature, data, and professional training for social science researchers. The Centers, serving professionals from the academic, non-governmental, private, and public sectors, will make it easier for researchers to pursue original work, to base their research on actual data, and toparticipate in the growing domestic policy research community. For more information on the CRRCs, see the CRRC Web site. |

Aesthetic Politics in St. Petersburg: Skyline at the Heart of Political Opposition
Alexei Yurchak, University of California, Berkeley
This working paper focuses on the plans to construct a skyscraper in St Petersburg, Russia, known originally as Gazprom-City and recently renamed into Okhta Center, and on the controversy that developed around these plans. The paper uses the skyscraper debates as a lens to discuss a particular "aesthetic politics" of St Petersburg, the meaning of "world cities" and "global architecture" in Russian and international contexts, post-Soviet forms of political and corporate governance, the mobilization of civic opposition to such projects and the ability of such urban protests to translate into a more unified and politically oriented opposition than has been possible in other contexts in Russia.
