This book examines the economic reforms and material progress made since the Central Asian republics became independent from the Soviet Union in 1991. Without some of the neo-liberal reforms recommended by the Washington Consensus and with an authoritarian presidency, Uzbekistan, the largest of these countries, has nevertheless achieved modest economic growth, stability, and a relatively impressive degree of income equality. The country has also preserved its economic and political independence from the great powers -- Russia, China, and the USA -- who are rivals for influence and energy in Central Asia. Human rights have been poorly enforced, though occasional thaws have also taken place.
