The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 heralded not only the creation and opening of borders but also the rapid entry of new actors and ideas into this previously isolated part of the world. This is typified by dramatic increases in the number of international research collaborations involving an ever-growing array of actors. Yet instead of pluralizing knowledge creation and ways of knowing, intensifying processes of globalization have given rise to a “global science” system that has not flattened or significantly altered existing knowledge hierarchies, despite greater diversity in international research collaborations. In the former Soviet state of Tajikistan, this is further tempered by resourcing gaps, political controls, and cultural factors, offering a unique setting through which to explore how researchers negotiate international research collaborations. Centering the perspectives of Tajikistani researchers, the article offers new insights into the reframing of globally homogenizing models of international research collaboration.

在塔吉克斯坦谈判国际研究合作

1991年苏联解体不仅预示着边界的创建和开放，而且新的参与者和思想迅速进入了这个先前与世隔绝的地区。这方面的特点是，涉及越来越多的参与者的国际研究合作数量急剧增加。然而，全球化进程并没有使知识创造和知识的方式多元化，而是产生了一种“全球科学”体系，尽管国际研究合作的多样性更大，但该体系并未使现有的知识等级变平或显着改变。在前苏联塔吉克斯坦州，资源缺口，政治控制和文化因素进一步削弱了这种状况，提供了一个独特的环境，可用来探索研究人员如何与国际研究合作进行谈判。本文以塔吉克斯坦研究人员的观点为中心，为重新构架国际研究合作的全球同质化模型提供了新见解。
