| Summary/Abstract |
Differences in the strategies and fates of signification confirm that the blanket label of authoritarianism, if correctly applied to the regimes in Central Asia, covers very different state-society relations and styles of government. Depending on which function type we focus on, symbols can predict regime development-and even, in some authors' views, collapse. With the exception of branding (more referential and often devoid of meaningful content), symbols often convey meaning about domestic self-images and politics that cut-and-thrust political bargaining may not. In each of the five Central Asian politics, they give a sense of the bigger picture, of what the stakes are about, about what aspects of collective identity matter or have ceased to matter. Different regimes of power have produced different regimes (structures and practices) of meaning.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyzes Kazakhstan's contested process of nation- and state-building through a closer examination of the links between legitimation and identity. A wider Weberian emphasis on how the elite relates itself to the broader relationship between rulers and ruled illuminates the difficulties Kazakhstan's elite has encountered in providing both a collective identity and one of self. This complex symbiotic relationship between self-legitimation, legitimation and identification is explained in terms of the economy, polity and perceptions of the Soviet order.

| Summary/Abstract |
The authors assess various writings on the 'coloured revolutions' more generally and the 'Tulip Revolution' specifically. They place this scholarship into three broad categories: an assessment of the Akaev years from a democratization and state-building perspective; the nature of and relationship between formal and informal institutions prior to and after March 2005; and, finally, the domestic and international factors behind mobilization. These correspond broadly to the three areas of enquiry by the contributors to this collection.

| Summary/Abstract |
What happens if a community is encouraged to imagine itself visually when its political vessel is a modernising nation-state within a multinational communist federation? Cinematic works, in their distillation of time and space, contribute to the kinds of imaginings that sustain nation-states. How this cultural technology reflected and promoted nation-building in the Soviet era is the subject of this article. It explores how the tensions within the diktat 'national in form, socialist in content' played out in practice in the Soviet cultural landscape of 1960s Kyrgyz film, dubbed by Soviet critics as a 'wonder'
