U.S.S.R - The Story of Soviet Russia

One of the least understood regions of the world, Central Asia is in the midst of a massive transformation from socialist command to capitalist development based on private initiative and ownership. The process involves the emergence of new markets, an entrepreneurial stratum, and new political institutions, including ones designed to provide rents to privileged groups. In this fascinating book, Gül Berna Özcan chronicles and critiques this unfolding revolution, with a focus on identifying the determinants of the region's institutional trajectory. Her analysis, which draws on an impressive array of sources, is lucid throughout. In exploring the commonalities of Central Asian development patterns, she never loses sight of the differences across the region's independent states. Building States and Markets can be read profitably and enjoyably by a wide range of intellectuals, including academics and policy makers.

A great book that contributes a much needed overview on entrepreneurship development in Central Asia. Özcan provides a knowledgeable study on how an entrepreneurial class emerged in this region, thus adding fresh insights on entrepreneurship in a transition context. I found the case vignettes of entrepreneurs throughout the book particularly interesting: they demonstrate the diversity of entrepreneurship in Central Asia and its (Soviet) roots and also illustrate how enterprising individuals cope with a less than favourable business environment, thus highlighting their fundamental role in changing Central Asian economies and societies.

'...a welcome addition to the literature as it fills a gap in our understanding of how new enterprises aer developing in Central Asia...It will also provide a useful book for undergraduate and postgraduate students alike, as well as serving as a helpful introduction to practitioners in the region.' - Insight Turkey

From the reviews of the first edition:

"The present book … starts with a survey of important topological topics, then reviews the theories of Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten, and describes various aspects of supersymmetery … . Graduate students, post-docs and junior faculty interested in the interaction of physics and mathematics … will greatly benefit from this coherent treatment of the subject and the thorough evaluation of its virtues which is, to my knowledge, the first of its kind." (Gert Roepstorff, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1087, 2006)
"The book is written to be accessible either for physicists who want to know about the topological consequences of supersymmetric quantum field theory, or for mathematicians curious about where the links between Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten theory come from. For both groups it should be a good point of entry to the literature. … the authors manage to give an end-to-end treatment of the relation between Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants, including a detailed computation of the formula connecting the two for manifolds of Seiberg-Witten simple type." (Andrew Neitzke, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 f)

"The most updated historical background and an original, stimulating and variable analysis of the EU's policy towards the Arab-Israeli conflict available today. This makes the book obligatory reading for academics, graduates and policy makers researching and dealing with the Union's foreign policy, in general, and Euro-Middle Eastern relations, in particular.'
- European Foreign Affairs Review

'With a focus on two major issues in international relations (EU foreign policy and the MEPP), this book fully succeeds in contributing to academic debates on EU actorness.'

'Overall, Hannerz' book is fascinating. It is both topical and prophetic, yet well connected to the history of anthropology. It pushes contemporary anthropology and cultural studies out of stifling, bounded notions of culture and raises new questions for communication, symbolism, community, identity and the world itself.' - Michael Anderson, Social Anthropology
