Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project investigated competitive authoritarian regimes increasing in the post-Cold War world. For this purpose, specialists in the post-communist countries, Southeast Asia, Arab countries, Africa, and Latin America rallied. We held meetings twice every year for comparative analysis, actively conducted fieldwork, and publicized research results in foreign and domestic journals and conferences. We organized an experiment of inter-regional comparison, between Kazakhstan and Malaysia. The term of this project coincided with the Ukrainian Crisis and the Arab Spring. This project was involved in these actual issues.
