Scholarly Studies of Civil Society in Tajikistan

The paper using the systematic literature review methodology analysed the several academic literature databases (Google Scholar, Cyberleninka, and JSTOR) as well as the websites of international organisations. After filtering for duplications and checking for eligibility criteria 18 texts were analysed. In its analysis, the paper discusses the forms and roles of civil society, and it was partnering with the government and donors. Among the findings is that publications were made basically after 2004 and there were few based on empirical research. The research agenda based on the analysed texts should include more focus on studying traditional institutions of civil society and how partnership among various actors in the changing environment should be developed.
