The Central Asian States 20 Years After: The “Puzzles” of Systemic Transformation

Summary/Abstract: Somewhat more than two decades at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the new millennium have drastically changed the global and, especially, the Eurasian world, the integrated part of which comprises five Central Asian newly independent states (CA NIS): Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. These years with unprecedented experiences and challenges for all of them need to be examined thoroughly to draw lessons from both positive and negative developments and introduce a new generation of market reforms. Comprehensive study of both the theory and practice of systemic transformation accumulated within this period is important for the further sustainable development of each CA NIS.
