Most books on the Caucasus and Central Asia are country-by-country
studies. This book, on the other hand, fills a gap in Central
Eurasian studies as one of the few comparative case study books on
Central Eurasia, covering both the Caucasus and Central Asia; it
considers key themes right across the two regions highlighting both
political change and continuity. Comparative case study chapters,
written by regional experts from a variety of methodological
backgrounds, provide historical context, and evaluate Soviet
political legacies and emerging policy outcomes. Key topics
include: the varied types and sources of authoritarianism;
political opposition and protest politics; predetermined outcomes
of post-Soviet economic choices; social and stability impacts of
natural resource wealth; variations in educational reform;
international norm influence on gender policy and the power of
human rights activists. Overall, the book provides a thorough,
up-to-date overview of what is increasingly becoming a significant
area of concern.
