The Covid-19 Pandemic and State Healthcare Capacity: Government Responses and Citizen Assessments in Estonia, Georgia, and Ukraine
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic raises concerns about the capability of governments to develop policies addressing its effects. This article evaluates citizens' attitudes about their governments' early responses to the crisis in three post-Soviet countries (Estonia, Georgia, and Ukraine). We explore how the pandemic emerged, focusing on connections among state capacity, government policy interventions, and crisis mitigation. We also use da…
Pandemic Politics in Eurasia: Roadmap for a New Research Subfield
The sudden onset of COVID-19 has challenged many social scientists to proceed without a robust theoretical and empirical foundation upon which to build. Addressing this challenge, particularly as it pertains to Eurasia, our multinational group of scholars draws on past and ongoing research to suggest a roadmap for a new pandemic politics research subfield. Key research questions include not only how states are responding to the new coronavirus, b…
An assessment of attributing public healthcare infrastructure damage in the Donbas five years after Euromaidan: Implications for Ukrainian state legitimacy
From the onset of the conflict in Eastern Ukraine in 2014, significant damage has been wrought to the public health infrastructure of the Donbas region. To date however, the full extent of that damage which is substantial, has not been documented: attribution of blame for that damage has not been attempted; and the implications for the region’s residents in terms of access to clinics and hospitals has been difficult to assess. This paper presents…

Global Changes and Gendered Responses: The Feminization of Migration from Georgia
While frequently discussed, the feminization of migration remains among the least understood trends in migration literature. Existing research links feminization of migration to socioeconomic change in migrant origin countries, changes in destination-country labor markets, structural factors, and changing social attitudes. However, questions of how the feminization of migration begins and how it becomes socially institutionalized remain largely u…
Are Remittances an Effective Mechanism for Development? Evidence from Tajikistan, 1999–2007
In many remittance-receiving countries, evidence linking remittances to household economic stability and investment is limited. Using three cross-sectional national surveys (1999, 2003, 2007) we compare remittance-receiving to non-remittance households in Tajikistan, a country highly dependent on remittances. Exploring household perceptions of financial security, wealth and entrepreneurial activity, across a period of rising remittance reliance, …
Exposure to International Migration and Its Effect on Childbearing in Turkey
International migration alters social norms, family structures, and population development in sending regions. Each of these factors affects fertility, making the impact of international migration on childbearing an increasingly important area of study. In many sending regions, the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) provide a promising, but underutilized, source of data for understanding the relationship between international migration and chil…
Cultural Responses to Changing Gender Patterns of Migration in Georgia
In this paper, we explore how individual women cope with the tensions between economic forces encouraging temporary labour migration and cultural norms tying “proper” women to their homes and families. Combining in‐depth interviews with returned migrant women in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi with secondary migration data for the region, we illustrate the recent increases in Georgian women’s participation in international labour migration. Deter…
Does nativity matter: Correlates of immigrant health by generation in the Russian Federation
The Russian Federation has experienced simultaneous declines in health and rises in international migration. Guided by the â healthy migrant effectâ found elsewhere, we examine two questions. First, do the foreign-born in the Russian Federation exhibit
Damaged Goods: Women Living with Incurable Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Gender and Perceived Control in the Russian Federation
The consequences of the socioeconomic transition for male physical health in Russia are widely documented, but much less research examines psychological well-being and mental outlook, or how these outcomes differ for men and women in Russia. Exploring gender differences in personal control, an important aspect of psychological well-being, we find that, controlling for social and economic factors, Russian women report lower levels of control than …

Challenges to Integrating Sexual Health Issues into Reproductive Health Programs in Uzbekistan
This study examines the direction and result of efforts of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the area of reproductive and sexual health in Uzbekistan. It focuses specifically on the institutional, structural, epidemiological, and cultural forces responsible for the exclusion of sexual health issues from reproductive health campaigns in the most populous Central Asian country. In Uzbekistan, as in other countries of the region, significant i…
Reproductive and Sexual Health Among Young Adults in Uzbekistan
Since 1991, contraceptive use has risen significantly in Uzbekistan while reliance on abortion has declined; yet reproductive health improvements have not translated into better conditions for sexual health. The prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases increased significantly in the 1990s, and UN AIDS currently identifies the Central Asian region as a high HIV‐growth zone. Structural, institutional, and attitudinal factors have contributed to …
Nativity and Self-Assessed Health among Pre-Retirement Age Hispanics and Non-Hispanic Whites
Economic, social and familial resources are known to influence subjective health assessments. We examine the salience of nativity in determining how these resources influence self-assessed health using a large, nationwide sample of Hispanic and non-Hispanic white adults. The results indicate that while education, accumulated assets and marital status benefit the physical and emotional health of the native and foreign-born, family resources and in…
Nativity and Older Women's Health: Constructed Reliance in the Health and Retirement Study
Gender and nativity are known risk factors for physical and economic dependency. Immigrant women are particularly disadvantaged because of their greater lack of social and economic resources. In this study, we investigate how women immigrants coordinate and utilize various support systems as they approach retirement age, as well as how choices and constraints affect their physical wellbeing. Experiences throughout the life course play a role in t…

Forced Migration and Destination Choice: Armenian Forced Settlers and Refugees in the Russian Federation
Many analysts have criticized resettlement institutions for placing displaced people in inappropriate and desolate areas. This article seeks to determine the extent to which the Russian Federal Migration Service (FMS) plays an active, systematic role in the placement of dislocated peoples, focusing on refugees ( bezhentsii ) and forced settlers ( pereselentsii ) in the Russian Federation arriving from the Republic of Armenia. Using data on region…
Ideology, Methodology, and Context: Social Science Surveys in the Russian Federation
The use of survey research has expanded dramatically in the Russian Federation, with mixed results in terms of accuracy and methodological practice. This article offers a preliminary summary of developments in survey research in the Russian Federation, highlighting the methodological and cultural difficulties associated with the transmission of Western-style survey research to the social reality of the Russian Federation. Ideological pressure, in…

The Myth of Managed Migration: Migration Control and Market in the Soviet Period
The former Soviet state openly and directly manipulated patterns of economic development and the allocation of social resources in order to influence individual-level demographic decision making. In perhaps the most notable example, the state, through an internal passport system and limits on central city registration, attempted to regulate patterns of population movement and urban growth. In this paper I shall show that while the operation of th…
