Abstract Details

2010, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Curriculum and Instruction (Education).
The emergence of women’s NGO (Non Governmental Organization) movements within the framework of Uzbekistan’s civil society sector – following independence in 1991 – has stimulated the interest of both domestic and international powers. It has become imperative to understand the conditions under which women’s public leadership flourished following decades of rigid patronage by the one-party system of the Soviet Union. Indeed, despite the marked absence of successfully organized movements in the past, women’s NGOs have nonetheless reached a stage where they have the potential to mobilize unprecedented levels of resources domestically and internationally to advance culturally transformative gender-consciousness and promote social change through gender-based solidarity. Concurrently, the Uzbek State, mindful of the various “Color Revolutions” that have swept through the former Soviet States, and desirous to curb the impact of “Western imperialism” at home, has proceeded to extend a strong legal grip over all voluntary associations and groups, thereby undermining the conception of conventional civil society groups. How has the State’s attempt to bring the civil society sector under its wings shaped present day women’s activism?
