Why did three states with similar cultural, historical, and structural legacies establish such different electoral systems? How did these distinct outcomes result from strikingly similar institutional design processes? Explaining these puzzles requires understanding not only the outcome of institutional design but also the intricacies of the process that led to this outcome. Moreover, the transitional context in which these three states designed new electoral rules necessitates an approach that explicitly links process and outcome in a dynamic setting. This book provides such an approach. Finally, it both builds on the key insights of the dominant approaches to explaining institutional origin and change and transcends these approaches by moving beyond the structure versus agency debate. 410 0$aCambridge studies in comparative politics. 517 3 $aInstitutional Change & Political Continuity in Post-Soviet Central Asia 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$zKazakhstan 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$zKyrgyzstan 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$zUzbekistan 607 $aKazakhstan$xPolitics and government$y1991- 607 $aKyrgyzstan$xPolitics and government$y1991- 607 $aUzbekistan$xPolitics and government$y1991- 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation 676 $a320.958 700 $aJones Luong$b Pauline$0562460 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783068103321 996 $aInstitutional change and political continuity in post-soviet central Asia$9947142 997 $aUNINA
