It was a time of great hopes, disappointments and interrupted progress for a region largely neglected by the powerful global actors. aThe Struggle for Civil Society in Central Asiadescribes the gradual establishment of the CS sector in Central Asia despite the economic and social crises that marked the first decade of independence in the region. It shows how the neo-liberal policies of international agencies failed to spur progress in the 1990s and how national government control gradually re-asserted itself after 2000. The book also covers the effects of 9/11 on CS, the impact of 'colored revolutions' and the challenges that civil society organizations face today."--pub. desc. 0aCivil societyzAsia, Central. 0aAsia, CentralxPolitics and governmenty1991- a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg 2ddccBK c48800d48800 00102ddc406300_958000000000000_BUS708NFIC980690aDULbDULcGENd2012-12-24ePurchasedo300.958 BUSp477596r2016-03-15w2016-03-15yBK
