Abstract

Chapter 4 proposes an analytical model of state-region co-constitution wherein the formation of two different types of polities proceeds in parallel and in relation one to the other. This model represents the mutual constitution of structures (i.e. regional institutions) and agents (actors operating in the region, i.e. states) as a specific process shaping the post-Soviet region and explaining its fundamental features. The chapter argues that states’ characteristics and actions (and the way they are engaged in their own internal definition and structuration) define regional institutions, norms and practices, and are in turn defined by them.
