This book argues for the need to rethink governance through the
lens of 'resilience as self-governance'. Building on
complexity-thinking, it contends that in the context of change and
complex life, challenges are most efficiently dealt with, at the
source, 'locally', to make 'the global' more responsive and
sustainable. Resilience as self-governance is advanced as an
overriding framework to explore its constitutive elements -
identity, 'good life', local coping strategies and support
infrastructures - which, when mobilized, can turn communities into
'peoplehood' in the face of adversity. It is argued that these
communities of relations, self-organised and self-aware of their
worth, is what makes them so resilient to crises, and what helps
them to transform with change; and how they should be governed
today. Central Eurasia, spanning from Belarus in the west, to
Azerbaijan in the south and Kyrgyzstan in the east, provides
fertile grounds for exploring how resilience works in practice in
times of complex change. By immersing into centuries-long
traditions and philosophy, local experiences of survival, and
visions for change, this book shows that governability at any level
requires a substantive 'local' input to make 'the global' more
enduring and resilient in a complex adaptive world. This book will
be of great value to students and scholars in the fields of
Politics including Eurasian politics and the various aspects of
Governance. Most of the chapters in this book were published as a
special issue of Cambridge Review of International Affairs.
