| Title | Classification of Central Asian Capitalist Systems According to Weber's Criteria |
| Summary | Little attention is given to the capitalist systems of the modern Central Asian states, which are rather studied for the specificities of their authoritarian regimes in the present post-transitional reality. In the following work I aim to describe the present differences and similarities of the capitalist systems of the Central Asian states in order to propose improved classification of the Central Asian capitalisms. The analysis and findings presented in this research are important in two different aspects. Firstly, they overview existing theoretical approaches to the study of the modern capitalist systems with regard to the Central Asian republics. Secondly, analysis and findings identify the key differences and similarities, which do not only present standard measures of economic performance, but also offer alternative criteria that are essentially concretely quantified. Such methodology allows for a deeper understanding of the contemporary variations of the concept of capitalism across the Central Asian states. The implications of this research result in further improvement of the specific and more general typology of the capitalist phenomena, so that it may become applicable to the wider number of cases across other post-transition states. |
