in this course and overview official documents that are normally used all over the world in social impact assessment practices. Second, we will look at the history of resource extraction on the territories inhabited by indigenous peoples in Siberia and discuss social and cultural consequences of industrial development in the area. At the end we will go through the various case-studies of the so-called
"ethnological expertise" in Siberia, noting the major problems of interaction between the state, business companies and indigenous peoples and discussing main theoretical approaches found in each case.
The course of 6 3-hour classes will consist of lecture units and seminar units. The first half of the course will consist primarily of lectures, while the second one will have seminar character. Throughout the course, sufficient time will be reserved for student presentations and discussions.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
1. compare main features of internationally recognized SIAs and examples of "ethnological expertises" in Siberia,
2. demonstrate understanding of differences and similarities in the practices of ethnological expertise depending of the living conditions of IPs and types of extracted resources,
3. see and understand the reasons for the existence of a significantly more fragmented picture of interests than the three groups of stakeholders that are usually singled out in this type of analysis:
business, state and indigenous population,
4. analyze the phenomenon of resource curse not just from the "applied anthropology" or the anthropology of development point of view, but in the frame of other (contemporary) theoretical approaches as well.
