- Abstract
- This issue's special section addresses a theme that is becoming increasingly important both in the global context and in the local context of contemporary Russia with its pronounced oil-and-gas vector of economic and social development. Articles presented in the section discuss problems of relationships of native peoples of Siberia, the North, and the Far-East of Russia with oil-and-gas companies and the Russian state. From the perspective of international experience, the article of M. Nuttall appears of considerable interest as it explicates key issues of the Mackenzie gas project which is being widely discussed in Canada. E. Wilson and K. Swiderska investigate the ways in which international legislation and industries' own initiatives may help settle and regulate relationships among businesses, state power, and local communities; they further ponder over the part ethnologists could play in this process. N. Novikova analyzes legal mechanisms designed to prevent and settle conflicts arising in this area by considering the cases of Sakhalin, Khanty-Mansiisk Autonomous Region, and Canada. G. Guldin, too, touches specifically on the role of ethnologists in a case study of international oil-and-gas projects in Sakhalin, while T. Roon, likewise resorting to the Sakhalin case, thinks about the ways of bettering methods of analytical expertise that are applied in actual situations under consideration. Contributions by N. Zhukovskaia, S. Shapkhaev, A. Sirina, and G. Fondahl address a spectre of problems arising out of projects on construction of oil pipelines in Eastern Siberia, ranging from the attitudes of local communities to their means of resistance (including changes in identity, religious and mythological worldviews) and to the possible ways of normalizing relationships among industries, the state, and people. G. Khizrieva and A. Yarlykapov discuss "oil migrations" from the Caucasus area to the Russian North. Z. Skrylnikova demonstrates that social problems engendered by oil-and-gas industries have resulted in the growth of ecological movements and the strengthening of group identity among the Karagash-Nogais of the Astrakhan region. It is the hope of the section editors that the contributions collected here will improve our understanding of this highly complex and pressing issue which requires urgent attention.
