The region of stretching from the border of China to the edge of Europe is marked by a history of long distance trading routes, cultural connections and resulting cultural plurality. It was once the epitome of global trade through the ancient Silk Routes, whose relics dot the landscape. After the collapse of the Soviet Union however this is one of the few areas of the world where intra-regional trade flows have actually declined. States have struggled to fashion themselves with new nationalist imaginaries, under often authoritarian regimes. The fragmentation of (post-)soviet cultural and economic space hardened borders, limited mobility and reinscribed 'national' identities rather than cross-regional commonalities. This situation is rapidly changing as China's 'Belt and Road Initiative' seeks to re-energise the old Silk Routes connecting its less developed West overland to Europe. The result, even before the infrastructure is fully developed, is new sets of hopes and fears in fragile states and societies. This GCRF cluster will map the discrepancies between projected (state-led, top down) infrastructures (and other pressures of globalisation) and imagined futures in the wake of the New Silk Roads. The effects of these transit-led economic corridors are differentiated between communities , economic sectors, places and genders. They summon up distant connections and global flows, real and imagined, intended and unintended, desired and feared changing the connectedness of once separate places. But they can also disconnect existing local connections, cutting across local transport, they can bring passing trade and passing trouble - where, for instance, the Worldbank reports both of female economic gains but also rising sexual exploitation along highway development in Asia.This cluster brings together 3 GCRF projects that span 7 countries across central Eurasia. Cumulatively they bring a powerful set of baseline data about changing senses of connectedness in the countries. Together in the cluster they will explore how participatory methods might open ways for more inclusive governance of economic corridors - looking for tools that might work in the cultural and governance contexts of Central Eurasia. We will explore how communities can find ways to articulate their different and clashing spatio-temporal imaginaries of connected futures. The cluster will focus of two cases in this initial phase of the call - one at the Eastern and one at the Western end of the region. At the Eastern end, Angren in Uzbekistan is a heavy industrial town that suffered decline when Soviet era transport routes across Kazakhstan became international and subject to political barriers. Now a 19.2km Chinese built tunnel and rail link through 3000m mountains connects it to the rest of Uzbekistan promising a new future on E-W economic corridors stretching to the Caucasus, the Arabian Sea and Europe. But leaves it beholden to Chinese transport and flows both legal and illicit. At the Western, Belarus is the gateway for the Eurasian Land Corridor from Central Asia via Russia into Europe. New Chinese led developments in Svetlogorsk, bring the promise of new industries, new markets but also migrants. The objectives are (i) to pilot communal participatory engagement models in the above-chosen cases, and (ii) to discuss best practice adaptive governance techniques with regional policy communities, in order to develop more sustainable modes of engagement with the wider region - at the local, sub-regional, regional, and international levels - in the future (phase II).

从中国边界延伸到欧洲边缘的地区的标志是长途交易路线，文化联系和由此产生的文化多元化的历史。它曾经是通过古老的丝绸路线的全球贸易的缩影，其遗物点在景观中。但是，在苏联崩溃之后，这是世界内部贸易流量实际上实际下降的少数地区之一。在经常是专制政权下，各州一直在努力与新的民族主义想象中的塑造自己。 （后）苏联文化和经济空间的分裂缩小了边界，有限的流动性和重新订阅的“民族”身份，而不是跨区域的共同点。随着中国的“腰带和道路倡议”试图重新加强其旧的丝绸路线，将其较不发达的西部陆上与欧洲连接起来，这种情况正在迅速发生变化。即使在基础设施充分发展之前，结果也是脆弱的国家和社会的新希望和恐惧。该GCRF群集将绘制出预计（国家主导，自上而下的）基础设施（以及全球化的其他压力）与新丝绸之路后想象的未来之间的差异。这些以交通领导的经济走廊的影响在社区，经济部门，地点和性别之间有所不同。他们召集了遥远的联系和全球流动，真实，想象，意图和意外，渴望和担心改变了曾经单独的地方的联系。但是他们还可以断开现有的当地联系，削减当地交通工具，可以带来贸易和经历的麻烦 - 例如，Worldbank报告了女性的经济增长，但在亚洲的公路发展沿高速公路发展沿着性剥削上升。这一集群汇集了3个GCRF项目，这些项目可以跨越中部欧亚大陆的7个国家 /地区。累积地，他们带来了一套强大的基线数据，以改变国家的联系感。他们将共同在集群中探讨参与式方法如何为更具包容性的经济走廊的治理打开方式 - 寻找可能在欧亚大陆的文化和治理环境中起作用的工具。我们将探索社区如何找到阐明其与互联期货的时空想象的不同和冲突时期的方法。该群集将在呼叫的初始阶段中重点聚焦 - 一个在东部，一个在该地区的西端。在东端，乌兹别克斯坦的安格伦（Angren）是一个重型工业小镇，当苏维埃时代的运输路线在哈萨克斯坦（Hazakhstan）成为国际性并受到政治障碍的影响。现在，通过3000m山脉建造了19.2公里的中国建造的隧道和铁路连接，将其连接到乌兹别克斯坦其他地区，承诺在E-W经济走廊上延伸到高加索，阿拉伯海和欧洲的新未来。但是让它看着中国运输，并流动合法和非法。在西部，白俄罗斯是从中亚通过俄罗斯进入欧洲的欧亚陆地走廊的门户。新中国领导了Svetlogorsk的发展，带来了新行业，新市场的承诺，也带来了移民。这些目标是（i）在上述案例中试点社区参与式参与模型，以及（ii）与区域政策社区讨论最佳实践自适应治理技术，以发展与地方，次级，区域和国际水平的更广泛地区的更可持续的参与模式。
