  • The Personalisation of Market Exchange in Gorno-Badakhshan, Tajikistan
    [Final draft submitted] ‘No debt, no business’: The Personalisation of Market Exchange in Gorno-Badakhshan, Tajikistan By Carolin Maertens ERC Project Remoteness and Connectivity: Highland Asia in the World Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich Citation: Maertens, Carolin (2017): “No debt, no business”: The Personalisation of Market Exchange in Gorno-Badakhshan, Tajikistan. In: R. Hardenberg (ed.): Approaching Ritual Economy. Socio-Cosmic Fields in Globalized Contexts. RessourcenKulturen 4. Tuebingen: 159-192. Keywords: debt, trade, market, transition, Islam, personalisation, Tajikistan 1 Introduction If one happens to travel in a shared taxi the roughly 600 km distance from Tajikistan’s capital Dushanbe to Khorugh, the capital of its mountainous Autonomous Province Gorno- Badakhshan, one is likely to enjoy the increasingly spectacular view on mountains and torrential rivers for at least fourteen hours. And if one happens to be brave enough and free from giddiness, it is advisable to get hold of a seat on the right side in direction of travel, preferably the front seat, since it provides by far the best view (and increases the chance to find a functioning seatbelt). Following the Panj river upstream on a dirt road for a great part of the journey, one can marvel at the steep canyons one passes through, at rock walls rising high above one’s head and at adventurous pathways vanquished by walkers, motorcycles, cars and donkeys right across the Panj river, which forms the border with Afghanistan. Apart from the visual entertainment, one may also wonder about the trucks that rumble together with passenger cars along the sometimes critically narrow road strip high above the river, shipping consumer goods to the Pamir region.

    Cross-border collaboration on malaria between countries of the WHO Eastern Mediterranean and European regions Report of the Biregional Coordination Meeting Dushanbe, Tajikistan Cross-border collaboration on malaria between countries of the WHO Eastern Mediterranean and European regions Report of the Biregional Coordination Meeting Dushanbe, Tajikistan Abstract The Biregional Coordination Meeting, held in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, on 27–28 November 2019, brought together countries of the WHO Eastern Mediterranean and European regions that share borders; the aims of the meeting were to report on their activities in eliminating malaria and preventing re-establishment of malaria transmission, to share lessons learned and discuss challenges, and to develop solutions, especially on cross-border issues. In addition to malaria, both the Eastern Mediterranean and the European regions have witnessed, in recent years, outbreaks of emerging and re-emerging vector-borne diseases (VBDs) – principally, the mosquito-borne arboviral diseases West Nile virus, dengue and chikungunya. The rapid expansion of the distribution of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus – vectors of dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus – in these regions is alarming and poses a significant risk to public health. To tackle this issue, possible interregional collaboration on capacity strengthening for integrated vector surveillance and control was discussed at length. Participants reaffirmed their commitment to make efforts to achieve malaria elimination and maintain malaria-free status,
