Conclusion -- Selected Bibliography -- Glossary -- Index.The continued existence of the Russian defence and arms industry (OPK) was called into question following the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991. Industry experts cited the lack of a domestic market, endemic corruption, and excess capacity within the industry as factors underpinning its predicted demise. However, the industry’s export customers in China, India and Iran during those early years became the OPK’s saving grace. Their orders introduced hard currency back into the industry and went a long way to preventing the forecasted OPK collapse. Although pessimistic predictions continued to plague the OPK throughout the 1990s, the valuable export dollars provided the OPK the breathing space it needed to claw back its competitive advantage as an arms producer. That revival has been further underpinned by a new political commitment, various research and development initiatives, and the restoration of defence industry as a tool of Russian foreign policy. The short-term future of the Russian OPK looks promising. The rising domestic defence order is beginning to challenge the export market as the OPK’s most important customer. Meanwhile, exports will be safeguarded by continued foreign demand for niche Russian defence products. Although the long-term future of the OPK is more difficult to predict, Russia’s solid research and development foundation and successful international joint military ventures suggest that the current thriving trend in exports is likely to continue. Russia represents the next generation of affordable and rugged military equipment for the arsenals of the developing world. Coupled with Russia’s growing ability to rearm itself through higher oil prices and a more streamlined defence industry, the future of the OPK looks bright.Canberra papers on strategy and defence ;no. 175.Weapons industryRussia (Federation)RussiaSocial conditionsRussiaEconomic conditionsWeapons industry338.47Mitchell Cameron Scott913893MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK9910133917803321Phoenix from the ashes2047575UNINA03981nam 22006735 450 991041192270332120250609112036.09783030475239303047523910.1007/978-3-030-47523-9(CKB)4100000011363821(MiAaPQ)EBC6274708(DE-He213)978-3-030-47523-9(Perlego)3480584(MiAaPQ)EBC6272984(EXLCZ)99410000001136382120200729d2020 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSecrecy and Responsibility in the Era of an Epidemic Letters from Uganda /by Hanne Overgaard Mogensen1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2020.1 online resource (262 pages) illustrationsPalgrave Studies in Literary Anthropology,2946-42269783030475222 3030475220 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface -- Chapter 1: The Missing Letters -- Chapter 2: Girls with Fast Legs -- Chapter 3: Women on the Move -- Chapter 4: Intersecting Trajectories -- Chapter 5: Questions of Belonging -- Chapter 6: Stories that Alter Life -- Chapter 7: Dying Poor -- Chapter 8: Feeling Stuck -- Chapter 9: Closeness and Distance -- Chapter 10: Knowing what to Hide -- Chapter 11: The Order of Secrecy -- Chapter 12: Shifting Secrets -- Chapter 13: Whose Responsibility - and what Happened to the Letters? -- Chapter 14: Moving on.'This is a beautiful, sad, hopeful, thought-provoking book that reads like a novel and is one of the best texts I know on the intricacies of doing close-in ethnographic fieldwork. It is rare to find such rich ethnography together with such a superb account of how it was assembled. It sensitively considers ethical dilemmas of doing fieldwork with people who are poor, sick and concerned with maintaining control over knowledge about their lives.' -Susan Reynolds Whyte, Professor of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark A narrative ethnography about a Ugandan woman and her relatives, this novelistic, fine-grained volume shows how global questions of responsibility and inequity travel in family networks and confront people with decisions about life and death. It is a story of existence under extremely challenging conditions, about belonging and marginalization, about the opacity and ambiguity of social relations, and about growing up in a country haunted by violence and civil war only to be later lifted by optimism and devastated anew by the AIDS epidemic. The story draws on long-term fieldwork and letters from the woman who takes centre stage in the story, while at once providing unique and privileged insight into the ethical challenges of a research method that demands personal involvement that is ultimately withdrawn for scholarly analysis. .Palgrave Studies in Literary Anthropology,2946-4226EthnologyMedical anthropologyEthnologyAfricaCultureSociocultural AnthropologyMedical AnthropologyEthnographyAfrican CultureEthnology.Medical anthropology.EthnologyCulture.Sociocultural Anthropology.Medical Anthropology.Ethnography.African Culture.967.6104300Mogensen Hanne Overgaardauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut897706MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910411922703321Secrecy and Responsibility in the Era of an Epidemic2005619UNINA
