development NGO, where the formal institututionalization of existing informal structures of local authority create misleading stories of success of the international community's role in constructing civil society. (149) The reality is that these khashar, traditional communities for organizing communal labor, get re-formed through international development projects and, rather than creating environments for democracy, reproduce power relations (154). The stories of how legitimate authority emerged in post-conflict Tajikistan tell us as much about the country as they do about the biases and half-quixotic achievements of the international community itself. What has improved the livelihoods of Tajik peasants, who remain impoverished, has been the emergence of a "post-conflict order and increased opportunities for [labor] migration" (170). And what has emerged in Tajikistan as legitimate order is not the objective condition of a developed peace process, but rather "an intersubjective process of complex legitimacy" (173). Legitimate order has emerged outside of, and to some degree independent of, neo-liberal assumptions of what is necessary for postconflict peace. Quite simply, this is one of the best books written on Tajikistan, and one of the most significant contributions to Central Asian Studies and Peace-building literature in recent years. Heathershaw's book deserves to be read by a broad audience. Though at times dense and written more for the expert than casual reader, it is a sophisticated and rewarding work that leads readers to question the agendas, and impact, of the international community on the multifaceted emergence of peace.
