About
I am writing a Ph.D. thesis entitled "An Uneasy Partnership: NGOs and the Russian state in their fight against HIV/AIDS" at the Department of International Relations and International Organisation of the University of Groningen. Supervised by prof. dr. Herman Hoen and dr. Joost Herman, I investigate the role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Russia by focussing on their collaboration with state institutions and their influence on domestic policy making. The political interplay between NGOs and the Russian state is particularly interesting because of the paradoxical predicament of a state that aims, on the one hand, to monitor and control civil society activity and, on the other, a state that needs NGO expertise to effectively address the epidemic. The project is designed as a qualitative study, in which the role and influence of AIDS service NGOs are analysed from the perspective of the global governance approach. Empirical research is based on case studies in three Russian regions: Tomsk, St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad.
