Far from simply succeeding each other, these \u201cinfrastructural regimes\u201d were sometimes contemporaneous, even nestled within each other: the Soviet paradigm of infrastructural development owed a lot of its conceptual and material resources to tsarist modernization, while individuals and, more broadly, the economic system in post-Soviet Georgia continue to rely on the ruins and remnants of Soviet communications, industrial and urban infrastructure; similarly, Soviet infrastructure has itself entered the transnational exchange of capital, fueling its flow and finding, in the process, a new lease on life. Emerging technology and infrastructure of today\u2019s transnational political economy precipitate new conditions of communication, transportation, processing, and networking. New nodal points of this global lattice \u2013 be it roads, power plants or cryptocurrency hotspots \u2013 also generate a new logic of their political governance, as well as novel practices of individual and collective response. Nature, caught up with this succession of divergent regimes, acquires variegated forms of agency determined by its relation to infrastructure. Often nature itself appears \u2013 although perhaps in a limited sense \u2013 as infrastructure. As a core research area, Infrastructures and Ecologies explores the multilayered political economy, ecology, and experiences of this relationship between nature and infrastructures.       <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-615fb9df\" data-id=\"615fb9df\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c83e865 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7c83e865\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/soccult.iliauni.edu.ge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/N7fQzMJg.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2034\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\u10e5\u10e3\u10d7\u10d0\u10d8\u10e1\u10d8\u10e1 \u10db\u10d4\u10e2\u10d0\u10da\u10e3\u10e0\u10d2\u10d8\u10e3\u10da\u10d8 \u10e5\u10d0\u10e0\u10ee\u10d0\u10dc\u10d0. \u10e1\u10e3\u10e0\u10d0\u10d7\u10d8\u10e1 \u10ec\u10e7\u10d0\u10e0\u10dd: \u10d7\u10d0\u10db\u10d7\u10d0 \u10ee\u10d0\u10da\u10d5\u10d0\u10e8\u10d8 Kutaisi Metallurgical Plant.
