      abstract = {After more than two decades of agrarian change in  Tajikistan, farming structures seem to crystallise. The  first signs towards farm individualisation were observed  only around 2000, which were the result of significant  pressure from outside, when the post-conflict state was  highly susceptible to pressure from multilateral  institutions. Over time, striking differences in agrarian  structures have emerged nation-wide; from highly  fragmented, autonomous farms, to elite-controlled  large-scale cotton farming. In this paper we analyse and  describe the Tajik path of reform, and locate the Tajik  case amongst the other reformers in the CIS. We use a  political economy and geographical approach to understand  the way in which different geographies of transition have  emerged in the aftermath of the Soviet collapse. Particular  pathways of reform are conditioned by geographical factors,  in which in turn, a local political economy comes into play  that further shapes the emergence of particular farm models  over time.},
