Attention is focused on international factors, economic institutions and domestic political dynamics. Briefly stated, four factors appear to have had a major influence on the relative success of economic reform: (1) the nature of ties to international financial markets; (2) the timing and sequence of economic reforms; (3) the nature of the state reform coalition; and (4) the nature of organised political opposition.Publication Metadata only The politics of oil in the Caucasus and Central Asia(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 1997) N/A; Department of International Relations; Kubicek, Paul J.; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/APublication Metadata only New states, new politics: building the post-soviet nations(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 1998) Department of International Relations; Kubicek, Paul J.; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/APublication Metadata only Authoritarianism in central Asia: curse or cure?(Carfax Publ Co, 1998) N/A; Department of International Relations; Kubicek, Paul J.; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AThe former Soviet republics of Central Asia-Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan-have largely resisted the movement toward democracy that has swept over other former communist states. Many factors can account for this: low levels of economic development, traditional culture, weak civil societies, the leading-role of the old nomenklatura in these new states, and ethnic cleavages. The larger question is what effect continued authoritarianism will have in these states. Should such governments be condemned as 'backwards' or do they serve a function, such as state-building, maintenance of inter-ethnic peace, or facilitators of economic growth? This article argues that the regimes of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, on balance, do serve a positive purpose, preserving order and discouraging expression of radical nationalism. On the other hand, success for democracy in these countries is far from likely, and limited democratic experience in Kyrgyzstan shows that it carl exacerbate ethnic tensions and threaten economic reform. There are, of course, risks and problems associated with even the most benign forms of authoritarianism, but thus far many of these pitfalls have been avoided.Publication Metadata only Variations on a corporatist theme: interest associations in post-soviet Ukraine and Russia(Carfax Publ Co, 1996) N/A; Department of International Relations; Kubicek, Paul J.; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Organized labor in postcommunist states - will the western sun set on it, too?(Sheridan Press, 1999) Department of International Relations; Kubicek, Paul J.; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AOrganized labor in postcommunist states is politically weak, marginalized by governments, and unable to mobilize its own members. Although some studies have assumed that with economic restructuring and recovery labor will again find a prominent role, marketization and globalization will undermie labor's position further. The same processes that undermined labor in western states are becoming manifest in postcommunist countries, and it is very doubtful if postcommunist organized labor will be able to survive as a movement.Publication Metadata only Central Asia in transition: dilemmas of political and economic development - rumer,b(Routledge Journals, Taylor and Francis Ltd, 1997) N/A; Department of International Relations; Kubicek, Paul J.; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Double-faced state: political patronage and the consolidation of democracy in Turkey(Frank Cass Co Ltd, 1998) Heper, Metin; Department of International Relations; Keyman, Emin Fuat; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 45389Publication Metadata only Ranking the presses: political scientists' evaluations of publisher quality(Cambridge Univ Press, 1999) Goodson, LP; Hira, A; Department of International Relations; Dillman, Bradford L.; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AN/A
