Abstract

This paper reviews the organizational leadership literature in the post-Soviet countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus. More importantly, we issue a “Clarion Call” for leadership scholars to focus their attention on the region while also providing key considerations and directions for future leadership research in the region. To help encourage and guide future leadership research, the paper provides a comprehensive research framework that identifies factors that need to be incorporated in future research on leadership in the Central Asia and Caucasus countries. We conclude with a discussion of potential research challenges that can arise, as well as research opportunities that are available, as a result of the unique idiosyncrasies of the region known as Central Eurasia.

Russia’s August 2008 invasion of Georgia made things a lot worse for that country, and Turkmenistan has yet to turn the corner on economic and political reforms in the wake of new presidential leadership following the death of its former leader.
