Since its independence in 1991, Tajikstan has suffered a series of
political crises followed by a civil war, whose repercussions
extend far beyond its borders. This work examines the causes of the
turmoil, and analyzes, through the case of Tajikstan, social and
political dynamics at work through Central Asia. It offers insight
into questions as varied as clan and local identity, the political
construction of ethnicity and the role of peacekeeping forces. The
first part deals with the difficulty of building a national
identity. It traces the slow and incomplete creation of Tajikstan
during the Soviet period, assesses "perestroika's" unsettling
effect on local power balances, and discusses the struggle between
the old oligarchy and the new elites which have tried to emerge
since independence. The second part deals with foreign influences
on the conflict, with studies of the roles of Russia, Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Iran and Uzbekistan, as well as the potential impact of
the conflict on the stability of the rest of Central Asia. The
third part examines the traumatic humanitarian and human rights
consequences of Tajikstan's fall from the tightrope of post-Soviet
transition.
