Index
Reflecting on two decades of experience, Gender Politics in Post-Communist
Eurasia offers new and important insights into contemporary global gender
politics by leading scholars from Central Asia, Europe, and the United
States - into the contemporary dynamics of gender politics in a critical
area of the world.
The volume includes case studies of Romania, Russia, and Tajikistan;
comparative analyses of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
and Uzbekistan; and regional examinations of Eastern and Central Europe
and Central Asia. The interdisciplinary contributions focus on issues such
as the influence of global and regional norms on women's rights, the
impact of international political economy on women’s social and economic
positions, and the implications of international and regional migration
and human trafficking for women’s lives.
Gender Politics in Post-Communist Eurasia provides wide-ranging analyses
that capture the distinctiveness of specific countries and regions while
illuminating the interplay between the local and the global in gender
politics.
