Popis: There was a widespread euphoria in the 1990s in Uzbekistan and other post-Soviet societies at the prospect that introducing Western-style public administration (PA) institutions and traditions would play a pivotal role in promoting the rule of law and democratisation. Like other newly independent post-Soviet states, Uzbekistan has become a “laboratory” for testing various global (Western) PA models and initiatives. As a result of these interventions, Uzbekistan's administrative system has developed hybrid features combining elements both from the Western and Soviet PA models: “Western” when we analyse its institutional and legal landscape, and “Soviet” when observing how public administration institutions work in practice. However, one salient PA tradition under-studied in the scholarly literature on Uzbekistan is the legacy of Islamic public administration (Islamic PA), which can be visualised when observing everyday life in micro-level social arenas. With this in mind, this chapter explores the legacy and context of Islamic PA in Uzbekistan through the ethnographic study of mahalla institutions, an indigenous governance structure originating from Central Asia's Islamic past and administrative traditions.

Abstrakt:There was a widespread euphoria in the 1990s in Uzbekistan and other post-Soviet societies at the prospect that introducing Western-style public administration (PA) institutions and traditions would play a pivotal role in promoting the rule of law and democratisation.

As a result of these interventions, Uzbekistan's administrative system has developed hybrid features combining elements both from the Western and Soviet PA models: “Western” when we analyse its institutional and legal landscape, and “Soviet” when observing how public administration institutions work in practice. However, one salient PA tradition under-studied in the scholarly literature on Uzbekistan is the legacy of Islamic public administration (Islamic PA), which can be visualised when observing everyday life in micro-level social arenas. With this in mind, this chapter explores the legacy and context of Islamic PA in Uzbekistan through the ethnographic study of mahalla institutions, an indigenous governance structure originating from Central Asia's Islamic past and administrative traditions.
