In the mirror of transitology: The politics of power alternation in the Caucasus and Central Asia by S. A. Pritchin

“…All this shows the limits of classical transitology theory when it comes to political transformations in the post-Soviet space, which it is unable to explain, yet alone to predict their possible future development. Thus, there is a strong need to develop new theoretical frameworks that would better accommodate particularities of the regional political systems.…”
