This book is a comprehensive collection of key scholarship on
informality from the whole post-socialist region. From Bosnia to
Central Asia, passing through Russia and Azerbaijan, the
contributions to this volume illustrate the multi-faceted and
complex nature of informality, while demonstrating the growing
scholarly and policy debates that have developed around the
understanding of informality. In contrast to approaches which tend
to classify informality as 'bad' or 'transitional' - meaning that
modernity will make it disappear - this edited volume concentrates
on dynamics and mechanisms to understand and explain informality,
while also debating its relationship with the market and society.
The authors seek to explain informality beyond a mere
monetaristic/economistic approach, rediscovering its
interconnection with social phenomena to propose a more holistic
interpretation of the meaning of informality and its influence in
various spheres of life. They do this by exploring the evolving
role of informal practices in the post-socialist region, and by
focusing on informality as a social organisation determinant but
also looking at the way it reshapes emergent social resistance
against symbolic and real political order(s). This book was
originally published as two special issues, of Caucasus Survey and
the Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe.
