Abstract

This article examines the role of the ‘global market’ in the exacerbation of economic remoteness in rural Ukraine. Based on a case study of a UK-sponsored project that set up a sewing centre in a rural community in Odesa province, I explore how unequal access to the global economy is determined by the type of market sought and the type of product designated for production. The approach looks critically at ‘the market’—as both a Western-oriented ideological construct and set of practices—that serves to distance the community from centres of global economic importance, both in a temporal and spatial sense.

“市场遥不可及”。乌克兰农村地区的全球联系和经济偏远

摘要

本文研究了“全球市场”在乌克兰农村地区经济偏远加剧中的作用。基于英国资助的一个项目的案例研究，该项目在敖德萨省的一个农村社区建立了缝纫中心，我探索如何通过寻求的市场类型和指定用于生产的产品类型来确定进入全球经济的不平等机会。该方法批判地看待“市场”，既是西方的意识形态建构，也是一套实践，它在时间和空间意义上使社区远离具有全球经济重要性的中心。
