Doctoral Dissertation Research: Privatization, Restructuring, and Gender in the Post-Soviet Textile Industry

塔拉克拉克大学的博士论文研究将考察经济控制的分权如何在苏联解体后的俄罗斯重组性别关系。国有资产私有化使决策权从国家层面转移到地方层面。将研究重组形式之间的联系及其对女性占主导地位的纺织业工人的影响。这项研究将强调权力下放在塑造发展成果和社会关系方面的重要性。将采用集体案例研究方法，审查纺织业私有化和结构调整的具体实例。四家公司将被选中进行深入分析。这项研究将对经济结构调整过程中的自由化和性别关系这一鲜有研究的领域提供新的见解。

Kominiak, Tara Clark University The doctoral dissertation research will examine how the decentralization of economic control is restructuring gender relations in post-Soviet Russia. The privatization of state property has shifted decision-making authority from the national to the local level. An investigation of the connections among forms of restructuring and their implications for workers in the female dominated textile industry will be studied. The research will emphasize the importance of the decentralization of control in shaping development outcomes and social relations. A collective case study approach will be used to examine specific examples of privatization and restructuring in the textile industry. Four firms will be selected for intensive analysis. The research will provide new insights on the little studied area of liberalization and gender relations under the process of economic restructuring.
