| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the internal structure of the local community in post-Soviet Uzbekistan and glean suggestions toward community driven development policies. By using the method of statistical modeling of the social network, this study reveals the propensity of the network embedded in the rural village toward forming transitive triad structure that can facilitate the tracking of defecting members and contribute to the network's stability.
