Kobil Ruziev is an Associate Professor with the Faculty of Business and Law at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol). His main research interests include banking and financial reform in emerging economies, SME access to formal finance, institutional economics, higher education reforms and economic transformation in the former Soviet Union in general and in the central Asian economies.
A Study in Human Adaptability: Qazaq Pastoralists in Western Mongolia
Information about the seminar will be posted later.
Peter Finke is a Professor and Vice-Dean for the Study Affairs Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Zurich. He is an economic anthropologist specialising in Central and Inner Asia and has conducted extensive fieldwork since the early 1990s. He is particularly interested in the changes that affected people in the region with the transformation of the socialist systems and the way they have adapted to the new uncertainties in a globalising world. Other projects deal with transnational migration movements within and beyond the region and with identity patterns and their changes in the course of national state-building schemes. In his most recent collaborative project, he tries to investigate the impacts a series of economic booms and crises have in one particular region of Qazaqstan, Zheti-Suw, and how the costs and benefits of these are distributed within society.
