7 Acknowledgments This book presents three types of state-capitalism now established in the former Soviet Union states of Eurasia crony, dual-sector, and predatory state-capitalism. It analyzes the political economies of Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan and examines the sources of resources for these authoritarian regimes, their decision-making, economic performance and the disposition of government funds. The comparative evaluation of their merit performance is based on internationally published statistics and on extensive interviewing in the native languages in five of the six countries. The authors would like to thank all interview partners who supported this project. Without their insights, assessments, and critical analysis this book would not have been written. Special acknowledgments are due to Bakhtijar Igamberdiev, Farrukh Irnazarov, Zafar Salmanov, Ingmar Schustereder, Manuel Stark, and Roman Vakulchuk who conducted, transcribed, and translated most interviews on which this book has been based. Finally, the authors are grateful that considerable parts of their research greatly benefitted from funding by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and financial support of the Volkswagen Foundation. vii
