Product Description
Politics of Language in the Ex-Soviet Muslim States offers a unique and timely analysis of language policies in the central Asian states of the former Soviet Union. The authors relate these policies to broad issues such as nation-building, language planning, and multilingualism. The book is a comprehensive survey of language policy in the five newly independent states with largely Turkic-speaking populations and in the Tajic republic, with its mainly Iranian-speaking population. It addresses each state's consideration over how the use of Russian--widespread as a second language among the Turkic-speaking peoples and known as a first language for Soviet-era immigrants regardless of ethnicity--should relate to use of the local varieties of Turkic or Iranian. It also addresses efforts in each state to elaborate the local variety of Turkic or Iranian for use as public discourse in administration, law, business, and politics, including teaching the language to its nominal speakers, and considers the relation between these languages and those of local ethnic minorities. The authors utilize previously unpublished empirical data, which is presented in both a clear narrative and conceptual framework.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The politics of Turkmenistan takes place in the framework of a presidential republic, whereby the President of Turkmenistan is both head of state and head of government. Turkmenistan has a single-party system, but has, according to the government, begun a transition towards a multi-party system. Turkmenistan is sometimes described as a "reclusive ex-Soviet nation". After 69 years as part of the Soviet Union (including 67 years as a union republic), Turkmenistan declared its independence on 27 October 1991. President for Life Saparmurat Niyazov, a former bureaucrat of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, ruled Turkmenistan from 1985, when he became head of the Communist Party of the Turkmen SSR, until his death in 2006. He retained absolute control over the country after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. On 28 December 1999, Niyazov was declared President for Life of Turkmenistan by the Mejlis (parliament), which itself had taken office only a week earlier in elections that included only candidates hand-picked by President Niyazov; no opposition candidates were allowed. ...

Product Description
Totalitarian cult leaderships have often been categorized as an anomaly to the 'modern' world. This being said, it is this very categorization makes it a fascinating subject for academic discourse. The ability of certain individuals to create and, more importantly, sustain such a 'brand' of leadership thus warrants a critical study of its inner workings. Attempting to do so, this comparative study critically analyzes the leadership of Kim Il Sung in North Korea and Saparmurat Niyazov in Turkmenistan to conjure a comprehensive understanding of totalitarian cult leaderships. While the leaderships hail from different time periods this study attempts to draw parallels between them in order to understand why some charismatic totalitarian leaders are able to sustain their leader ship over an extended period of time. ...
