INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF CENTRAL ASIAN POLITICAL CONSOLIDATION

Abstract

Soviet Union has been in a disintegration process since 1987, Despite the usual reforms ((perestroika, glastnost) efforts of Gorbachev. At this point, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan constitute the main axis of the study since they have different characters than other Central Asian countries in independence process. The transformations of the countries, which will be handled comparatively due to their different characters, will be analyzed in a holistic way with political decision makers with absolute power. As a result, the study aims to give the reader a new perspective by interpreting the results of the transformation that occurred in the hands of political leaders on the analytical axis.
