Law, Leadership, and Legitimacy”
Reviews:"McChesney's analysis would be welcome for its clarity and readability alone. It is doubly important, however, in that it is utterly unlike any of the many recent "introductions" to Central Asia: it asks different questions, uses different sources, and addresses issues that are not only neglected in those other works, but often seem entirely unknown to their authors. Central Asia will serve as a serious and substantive counterweight to the superficial analysis that prevails in publications by the instant experts, and as such it should be required reading for those in government, business, or the general public seriously interested in the region."
