In the triangle of the great powers: Interactional spaces of the kings and the nobility from Eastern Georgia (1555-1724)

这个项目是关于格鲁吉亚国王和贵族之间的互动空间，他们与萨法维帝国、奥斯曼帝国和俄罗斯帝国等邻国的宫廷保持着密切的社会文化和政治互动和沟通。在这些大国相互冲突的扩张主义领域内，移徙进程在创造相互作用的领域方面发挥了关键作用。这项研究项目的时间范围从1555-1724年，从阿玛西亚的和平(1555)开始，到最后一位萨维德总督瓦赫唐六世(别名Hosaynqoli Khan)从格鲁吉亚东部王国卡特利移民到沙皇宫廷1724年。研究基于东格鲁吉亚卡特利和卡赫提王国的政治行为者的样本，在奥斯曼帝国和萨法维人签订阿玛西亚和约后，被认为受萨法维德人影响的地区。比较全球历史分析被证明是研究格鲁吉亚政治行为者互动空间的最佳方法，他们发现自己处于对萨法维文化和宗教的高度复杂的同化和分化过程中，并受到奥斯曼帝国和沙皇的主要政治利益的持续影响。这个项目的目的是展示格鲁吉亚国王的行动，并展示移民、跨文化相互关系的各个方面，在跨奥斯曼地区的全球发展过程中维护权力和宗教文化的机制。

This project is dealing with the interactional spaces of the Georgian kings and the nobility who maintained close socio-cultural and political interaction and communication with the royal courts of neighboring countries like the Safavid Empire, the Ottomans and the Russian Empire. The migration processes play a crucial role in the creation of interactional fields within the conflicting areas of expansionism of these great powers. The timeframe of this research project covers a period between 1555 - 1724, starting with the peace of Amasya (1555) up to the emigration of the last Safavid viceroy Vakhtang VI (alias Hosaynqoli Khan) from the Eastern Georgian Kingdom Kartli to the Court of the Czar 1724.The study is based on samples of political actors from the Eastern Georgian Kingdoms of Kartli and Kakheti, an area which was considered to be under the influence of the Safavids following the agreement in the peace treaty of Amasya between the Ottomans and the Safavids.Comparative global historical analysis proves to be the best methodological approach in researching the interactive spaces of Georgian political actors who found themselves in a highly complex process of assimilation and differentiation towards the Safavid culture and religion as well as under continuous influence of major political interests of the Ottomans and the Czar.The aim of this project is to demonstrate the acting of the Georgian Kings and to show aspects of migration, cross-cultural interrelations, mechanisms of maintenance of power as well as religious cultures in the course of the global development within the trans-ottoman field.
