With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, former Communist Party
leaders in Central Asia were faced with the daunting task of
building states where they previously had not existed - Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Their task was
complicated by the institutional and ideological legacy of the
Soviet system as well as by a more actively engaged international
community. These nascent states inherited a set of institutions
that included bloated bureaucracies, centralized economic planning
and patronage networks. Some of these institutions survived, others
have mutated and new institutions have been created. actors and
social forces in the region. Through the prism of local
institutions, the authors reassess both our understanding of
Central Asia and of the state-building process more broadly. They
scrutinize a wide array of institutional actors, ranging from
regional governments and neighbourhood committees to transnational
and non-governmental organizations. With original empirical
research and theoretical insight, the volume's contributors
illuminate an obscure but resource-rich and strategically
significant region.
