Sociology, labour and transition in post-Soviet Russia
For almost 20 years, since the early 1990s, Professor Simon Clarke led multiple international research projects in Russia, China and Vietnam studying labour relations, enterprise restructuring and household economics under post-socialist transition. Breaking out of post-socialist scholarship's narrow confines, both social and ideological, he led an exploration of the void opened by former Soviet Union disintegration reconnecting with those who br…
Migration Scholarship in Post-Soviet Russia
This review explores Russian academic debates around migration, highlighting theoretical, empirical and policy issues which are specific to the Former Soviet Union (FSU). In global terms, FSU migration volumes are high: the Ukraine-Russia migration corridors are second only to those straddling the border between Mexico and the United States. Russia’s wealthiest regions are the primary destinations of both internal and FSU migrants. In line with g…
Research Ethics in an Unethical World
This article explores ethical dilemmas in researching the world of work. Recent contributions to Work, employment and society have highlighted challenges for engaged research. Based on the emancipatory epistemologies of Bourdieu, Gramsci and Burawoy, the authors examine moral challenges in workplace fieldwork, question the assumptions of mainstream ethics discourses and seek to identify an alternative approach. Instead of an ethics premised on a …
Social failures of EU enlargement
Review of "Social Failures of EU Enlargement: A Case of Workers Voting with their Feet", by Guglielmo Meardi. Routledge, London, New York, 2012
Informal and uncertain
Twenty five years of intense market reforms have not contributed to Russia developing a coherent and effective set of institutions regulating employment relations. The world of work instead has grown into a wilderness of highly differentiated, shadowy arrangements ruled by employers’ arbitrariness (Bizyukov 2011, 2013). By contrast, scholarship contributing to the sociology of work and employment remains underdeveloped, theoretically timid and hi…
The transformation of work and industrial relations in the post-Soviet bloc
The uprisings of 1989 in the Soviet sphere were momentous in their political impact. Examination of this prolonged transformation is timely. We progress from case study analysis of the workplace - important in the early stages of transformation - to reflective overviews which consider the accumulated experience of a quarter of a century of post-communism. Our overview studies highlight, for example, aspects of gender difference within the frame o…
Moldovan employment relations
We examine the theory that trade unions’ functions in a transitional economy are characterised by ‘path dependency’ through the lens of case studies of employment relations in enterprises operating in Moldova. An ethnographic approach is taken to analysing social relations in three locally and foreign-owned medium to large scale companies in the clothing sector. The case studies explore union responses to managerially-driven re-structuring. We fi…
Managing the Labour Collective
The aim of this paper is to explore the extent of change in the wage systems at Russian industrial enterprises, examining how the traditional Soviet system of wages is being recast to accommodate the pressures associated with large-scale economic restructuring. Our findings reveal that, despite some important adjustments in the face of new economic constraints, the lack of change in the social organisation of production at the level of the enterp…
