Central Asia after Two Decades of Independence

Richard Pomfret

No wp-2010-053, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: After becoming independent in 1991, the five Central Asian countries pursued differing transition paths from the defunct central planning. This paper analyses the connection between economic policies and performance during the 1990s and 2000s. Performance over the two decades has been determined by resource endowments rather than by policy.
