Index

Reacting 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.
