'Chapters on Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia provide a systematic analysis of elite politics, factionalism, party and interest group formation, and social and ethnic divisions. Karen Dawisha and Bruce Parrott contribute theoretical and comparative chapters on post-communist political development. This book provides students and scholars with detailed analysis by leading authorities, plus the latest research data on recent political and economic trends in each country.' Transition Studies Review
The volume is well worth reading by any mature political scientist and is especially useful for students. Choice
...an excellent addition to the body of work already done on the subject.... The book is well balanced, and its individual chapters are of equally high quality. The authors provide an excellent analysis of why the establishment of democratic institutions and the nurturing of the culture of democracy has proven so difficult in Central Asia and the Caucasus, and why both regions are moving toward authoritarianism despite having adopted the outward trappings of democracy, such as legislative and presidential elections.
