Dr. Douglas J. Rogers (Yale University) will investigate the changing nature and functions of "petro-states" in the modern world economy. His research will focus on oil companies in present-day Russian society, using the Perm Region of the Urals as a case study. Lukoil, the primary oil company operating in the Perm Region, has pumped enormous sums of money into social and cultural projects over the last decade, often partnering with state offices and other companies to fund everything from museums and youth festivals to the reconstruction of churches and scholarly research on ethnicity. Rogers will explore the effects of these highly visible sponsorship activities on configurations of state and market, concepts of citizen and citizenship, and, ultimately, the petrostate itself, which appears to becoming quite distinct from the postcolonial oil-exporting states most familiar to social scientists.Rogers will conduct research in four different districts of the Perm Region, in order to investigate the local significance of social and cultural projects funded by new oil wealth. He will collect primarily qualitative data through a variety of ethnographic research methods. Data will come from semi-structured and unstructured interviews, employment and training histories, cultural project narratives, histories of particular cultural objects, participant observation, and archival and newspaper research. This research is important because existing social science research focuses primarily on international pipeline politics or the manipulation of oil wealth to support and contest political power. Very little is known about how oil has affected local society, culture, and state in today's global political economy. This project will be among the first to approach recent developments ethnographically, exploring and then theorizing the effects of oil-driven social and cultural change at the ground level.

道格拉斯·J·罗杰斯博士（耶鲁大学）将研究“石油国家”在现代世界经济中不断变化的性质和功能。他的研究将集中在当今俄罗斯社会的石油公司，使用乌拉尔彼尔姆地区作为案例研究。在彼尔姆地区运营的主要石油公司卢克石油公司在过去十年中向社会和文化项目投入了大量资金，经常与国家办事处和其他公司合作，资助从博物馆和青年节到教堂重建和种族学术研究的一切活动。罗杰斯将探讨这些高度可见的赞助活动对国家和市场的配置，公民和公民身份的概念，并最终，石油国家本身的影响，这似乎变得与社会科学家最熟悉的后殖民石油出口国截然不同。罗杰斯将在彼尔姆地区的四个不同地区进行研究，以调查由新石油财富资助的社会和文化项目在当地的重要性。他将主要通过各种人种学研究方法收集定性数据。数据将来自半结构化和非结构化的采访，就业和培训历史，文化项目叙述，特定文物的历史，参与者观察，以及档案和报纸研究。这项研究很重要，因为现有的社会科学研究主要集中在国际管道政治或操纵石油财富以支持和争夺政治权力。在当今全球政治经济中，石油如何影响当地社会、文化和国家，人们知之甚少。该项目将是第一个从人种学角度探讨最近发展的项目之一，探索石油驱动的社会和文化变革在地面上的影响，然后将其理论化。
