ABSTRACT

This article surveys research on regimes and states in Central Asia and assesses its contribution to Political Science, specifically the subfield of comparative politics. It discusses three areas in which research on the region has been influenced by and, in turn, fruitfully shaped the comparative political analysis of state and regime: a turn from macro- to micro-level topics; innovations in research design; and the embrace of interdisciplinarity. It then addresses the challenges confronting scholars of the region, including uneven theoretical contributions to comparative politics and impediments in the feasibility of field research. It identifies several lively debates in comparative politics to which Central Asianists have the potential to contribute important insights. It concludes that the study of states and regimes in Central Asia has greatly enriched some debates in comparative politics (and vice versa), but declining pools of funding, the politicization of academic research, and unequal access to institutional resources among local and Western scholars threaten to diminish the field’s contributions in the coming years.

研究中亚国家和政权:对比较政治和未来挑战的贡献

摘要

本文调查了对中亚政权和国家的研究,并评估了其对政治学,特别是比较政治子领域的贡献。它讨论了该地区研究受到国家和政权比较政治分析影响并进而卓有成效地塑造的三个领域:从宏观到微观主题的转变;研究设计的创新;和跨学科的拥抱。然后,它解决了该地区学者面临的挑战,包括对比较政治的不均衡理论贡献和实地研究可行性的障碍。它确定了中亚学者有潜力贡献重要见解的比较政治领域的几场激烈辩论。
