This issue of the Caucasus Analytical Digest discusses Middle Classes in the South Caucasus; Yuliana Melkumyan gives a systematic overview of the main features of the middle class in Armenia based on their self-perception as captured in representative surveys; Alexi Gugushvili posits that ‘the middle class’ in the Georgian context is still largely in the making; and Cristina Boboc argues that the middle class identity in Azerbaijan is more than an interplay between the accumulation of material goods, education and occupation.
