The book delves into the intricate economic practices of traders and businesspeople hailing from the Caucasus and China, who engage in vibrant local bazaars in Tbilisi and Beijing. It offers a comprehensive account of their daily activities, motivations, socio-cultural backgrounds, work environments, and interactions with one another. By contributing to a broader discourse on the nature and significance of informal economic practices in the post-Soviet periphery and the processes of "globalization from below," the book aims to provide a rich and detailed portrayal of the embeddedness of bazaar traders' economic behaviors and strategies within local and global political, economic, and cultural contexts, markets, and supply chains.
