Labour, migration, identities: challenges and relations of social insecurities in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan

Obiettivo

In a highly innovative combination of methods, together with macro- and micro-level analysis, this research proposes to question the creation and effects of emerging state policies on the increasing sense of everyday insecurities experienced by four key communities in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The nominal embrace of democracy and the market economy in the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union has not brought the economic stability promised by advocates of neo-liberalism, instead provoking new social inequities. Mass privatization programs have resulted in rural migrants from collapsed collectives entering cities in search of work. At the same time, the initial move towards nationalism in Kazakhstan, and the continuing policy of titular ethnic preference in Uzbekistan has led to sharply changing demographic patterns in city and countryside: many technically-skilled Russians have emigrated. Both policies, exacerbated in places by the rise of religion, have radically changed gender roles: typically, women are now both breadwinner and carer. Research has been carried out on how different types of insecurity, but no study has as yet attempted a systematic analysis at a micro-level of the relationship of different insecurities (local and national identity, belonging, long-term economic security, value systems, etc.) as we propose to do, nor have the four communities we have chosen been assessed together. In the context of legislation and other indicators of state policy, we will study first, households as a key locus of both family and wider values and tensions, secondly, urban administrations as a group of individuals socialized into the Soviet bureaucracy but now implementing policy at the coal face, thirdly, local and international NGOs who act as a bridge between local value systems and global norms, and lastly the community of scientific researchers for whom the production of knowledge has been affected by value conflicts, loss of status and economic impoverishment. Two neighboring countries, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, with markedly different histories and consequently dissimilar social, political and economic trajectories have been selected to highlight patterns specific to each country, common to the region, or in line with developments elsewhere in the world. This comparative perspective is enhanced by the experience brought by the researchers involved in the project both in local developments and in the processes and effects of deregulation and globalization in other regions of the world. Through our project we will investigate both how a range of insecurities are perceived and experienced but also compensatory strategies. The results from this research will not only show disjuncture between models of democracy and market and local value systems, but will also highlight how support may most usefully be targeted to groups most at risk but invisible to conventional macro-analytic techniques.
