This book examines the economic reforms and material progress of the Central Asian republics after becoming independent from the Soviet Union. Focusing on Uzbekistan, the largest of these countries which achieved modest economic growth, stability, and a relatively impressive degree of income equality, the book also features a comparative analysis of four Central Asian states. It takes into account the region's abundant energy resources as prospect for future political and economic progress.
