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

博士论文研究将探讨经济控制的分散化如何重构后苏联时期俄罗斯的性别关系。国有财产私有化将决策权从国家转移到地方。将研究各种改组形式之间的联系及其对妇女占主导地位的纺织工业工人的影响。这项研究将强调权力下放在形成发展成果和社会关系方面的重要性。将采用集体个案研究方法来审查纺织工业私有化和改组的具体例子。将选择4家公司进行深入分析。这项研究将对经济改革进程下自由化和性别关系这一研究较少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.
