Current research

Sherzod Eraliev is currently working on the following research projects:

  1. “Non-Western migration regimes in a Global Perspective” (MARS), EU-funded research and staff exchange project with 7 EU universities and 16 non-EU partner universities and institutions globally. The project aims to increase our scientific understanding of global, regional and national migration and mobilities in non-Western contexts.
  2. “Informality, Migrant Precarity and Exploitation in Nordic Context: Uzbek Migrant Workers in Sweden and Finland” (IMPEX), a research project funded by Forte – Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare. This ethnographic study of immigrants explores the everyday experiences of adaptation and integration of Uzbek migrants in Sweden.
  3. Research on post-Soviet (Russian-speaking) immigration in Nordic countries. Among others, this study particularly looks into the experiences of Ukrainian refugees in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its repercussions for Nordic immigration policies.

Eraliev is also researching civil society institutions and state-society relations in non-democratic regimes, as well as migration and authoritarianism in the Eurasian region.
