Abstract

Abstract: This paper consists of three main parts, each applying one strand of institutionalist theory. The first segment applies organizational institutionalism to map how corruption and its containment look in a specific context, e.g. the public health sector of postcommunist countries. The second part of the paper applies the notions of rational choice institutionalism by outlining the calculus of individuals as well as groups as they decide whether to engage in corruption or participate in its control. The third part will argue the value of historical institutionalism by outlining how a core legacy of the communist systems, e.g. informal networks, influences how the lessons of organizational and strategic calculus institutionalism can be undermined in practice.

39. Determinants of ethnic identification in the USSR: the Soviet Jewish case.

Abstract

Twenty years ago most Western and Soviet analysts agreed that ethnicity was of only marginal significance in the Soviet Union. Since then this position has been challenged in the West, and has been slowly eroded in the Soviet Union by empirical ethno-sociological research. This shift is partly due to a growing recognition that the tenacity of ethnicity has been seriously underestimated worldwide, but political events and social processes in the Soviet Union were at the core of this change. One of the big surprises of the late 1960's and early 1970's was the emergence of Soviet Jews as a distinct community voicing ethno-political demands, especially for the right to free emigration. Studies of ethnicity have shown that awareness of it frequently arises in the course of contact with other ethnic groups who assign names to new groups they meet. Thus ethnic identification depends not only on objective traits and subjective feelings of self, but also on the degree to which the environment pays attention to it and calls it by name. According to the author, his analysis of the changing nature of Soviet Jewish identity illustrates the fluidity of the phenomenon and that no single criterion can be taken as decisive.
