This affected the very foundations of their political, social, and economic lives. This article concentrates on the dynamics of public governance and argues that informal sturctures, socio-cultural mechanisms, and cultural artifacts allowed governance to fuction in Uzbekistan and filled the emerging vaccum in the areas where formal mechanisms were weakened or non-existent. Using qualitative research techniques and network governance concepts a framework with mechanisms of control, conditons, insitutional forms, and resluting exchange was developed. - Reproduced.  aUzbekistan- Economic policy  aEconomic policy  aJegers, Marc  aInternational Journal of Public Administration
