摘要博士论文研究方向：俄罗斯远东地区的合作与集体行动0714853本论文项目将支持美国罗格斯大学国际合作学院（CoPI） Andrew Gerkey的研究，研究俄罗斯堪察加半岛Koryak人在资源利用和分配方面的合作行动的文化和经济维度。研究人员将通过综合民族志方法（参与者观察、访谈和调查）与政治学和经济学中更广泛使用的方法（人口/经济调查和经济博弈）收集的数据，对国有农场（Sovkhoz）和地方公地（Obshchina）组织进行比较，以便更好地理解在这个多样化的后苏联背景下的集体和合作行动。

ABSTRACTDoctoral Dissertation Research: Cooperation and Collective Action in the Russian Far East0714853This dissertation project will support research of CoPI Andrew Gerkey, Rutgers University, to investigate the cultural and economic dimensions of cooperative action regarding resource use and allocation among the Koryak of Kamchatka, Russia. The researcher will compare the State Farm (Sovkhoz) and the Local Commons (Obshchina) organizations by synthesizing data gathered from ethnographic methods (participant observation, interviews, and surveys) with methods more broadly utilized in political science and economics (demographic/economic surveys and economic games) in order to better understand collective and cooperative action in this diverse, Post Soviet, context.
