Book review: dictators without borders: power and money in Central Asia by Alexander Cooley and John Heathershaw

In Dictators Without Borders: Power and Money in Central Asia, Alexander Cooley and John Heathershaw look at the under-explored financial reach of the ruling elites of five Central Asian states – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan – who reap the benefits of globalisation while denying civil liberties to their own populations. Anton Moiseienko welcomes this book for combining high-quality scholarly research with an urgent and powerful moral message.
