The primary research questions include an examination of whether or not South Sudan’s 2011 secession signaled a break from the O.A.U.’s traditional doctrines of African stability and noninterference. Additionally, this thesis asks: why did the United States and the international community at large confer recognition to South Sudan immediately upon its independence? Theoretical models are used to examine the independent variables of African stability, ethnic secessionism, and geopolitics on the dependent variables of international recognition and the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.

  • The Tajik Women's Experiences of Their Husband's Migration

    The Tajik Women's Experiences of Their Husband's Migration

    The Impacts of Migration: The Tajik Women’s Experiences of Their Husband’s Migration By Sayyokhat Dushanbieva Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies Supervisor: Professor Eva Fodor CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2014 Abstract Tajikistan is one of the highest migrant sending countries. The majority of migrants are men, whose families stay in Tajikistan. The absence of men in the patriarchal society affects the gender roles and leads to changes in social and familial organization, specifically the autonomy of women. The analysis is based on twelve in-depth interviews of women in the capital city, Dushanbe. The women varied in age, education, and the duration of their husband’s migration. The interviews reveal several problems with labeling women as ‘left behind,’ which does not describe the decision-making process or role of women in Dushanbe. Men’s labor migration causes an increase in women’s level of autonomy, whose new roles remain stable even after their husbands return home. The autonomy of women varies with age, financial stability and the length of the relationship; however, the length of migration can create emotional hardship. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to thank my dearest mother, Lalimo, whose eyes and words provided a constant source of motivation. My sister, Laylo, and the rest of my family, who supported and helped me to carry out the research during my travel to Dushanbe. I would also like to express my appreciation to my interviewees, whose time and contribution made a difference in the outcomes of this research.
  • Gender Equality: Bridging the Gap the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Is Committed to Gender Equality

    Gender Equality: Bridging the Gap the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Is Committed to Gender Equality

    Gender Equality Bridging the Gap Why Invest in Gender Equality Gender Inequality has significant economic and social costs. Rapid economic growth in Asia and the Pacific has sharply reduced the number of people living in extreme poverty. Despite this, gender disparities still exist in girls’ school enrollment and completion rates, access to health and nutrition services, employment and income opportunities, and participation in decision making and political institutions. Some estimates suggest1 the region is losing more than $40 billion per year as a result of women’s limited access to employment opportunities and due to gender gaps in education. Gender Equality Matters The empowerment of women promises enormous gains. Gender equality needs to be pursued both for social and equity considerations and because it makes good economic sense. Underinvestments in women are missed opportunities to correct gender disparities and to capture and harness the economic and human capital potential of women—that is, 50% of the country's population. Investments in women and gender equality will deliver higher growth rates, faster poverty reduction, and better education and health outcomes for household members, especially children. More than 100 million people could be lifted out of poverty if women had the same access to productive resources as men. In countries, such as India, Indonesia, and Malaysia, the gross domestic product would increase by up to 2%–4% annually, if women’s employment rates were raised to 70%, from 30% at present. Temporary special measures, and social protection measures, are necessary to accelerate progress for women. This means giving women greater access to resources, goods, money, and employment opportunities.
