Tajikistan: The Trials of Independence (Central Asia Research Forum)

by Frederic Grare (Author), Frederic Grare (Author), Shirin Akiner (Author), Mohammad-Reza Djalili (Author)

Synopsis

Since its independence in 1991 Tajikistan has suffered a painful series of political crises followed by a civil war, still continuing, whose repercussions extend far beyond its borders. This work examines the causes of the turmoil, and analyses, through the case of Tajikistan, social and political dynamics at work throughout Central Asia. The book is the work of eleven Central Asian experts from different disciplinary backgrounds, and provides new insight into questions as varied as clan and local identity, the political construction of ethnicity and the role of peacekeeping forces.
