摘要

The Rose Revolution of 2003 in Georgia set in motion profound political, economic, social, and cultural transformations, shaped by the interplay of global, national, and local forces. This chapter examines the post-revolutionary reconfiguration of social class in Tbilisi and its role in shaping citizens’ often ambiguous and contradictory perceptions of (in)security. Grounded in the concept of vernacular security, it analyses the political construction of (in)security through the lens of deterritorialisation. By integrating both top-down and bottom-up perspectives, the chapter explores how shifting class dynamics, migration trends, and the proliferation of the Internet reshape social identities and inform perceptions of (in)security in post-revolutionary Georgia.
