• W52363648 abstract "The process of political consolidation in Azerbaijan has occurred largely under auspices of an emerging system best described as presidential monarchy. This has taken place following years of political turmoil and eventual, though gradual, re-establishment of such institutions of state as parliament, bureaucracy, and presidency. Both constitutionally and practically, presidency has emerged as real fount of power in Azerbaijani politics, and, in process, President Heidar Aliyev has made himself indispensable to political system. Significant accomplishments in fields of foreign policy and economics, as well as elimination of actual and potential rivals in armed forces and elsewhere, have greatly enhanced Aliyev's powers. State-building and political consolidation have reached such levels that emergent system is likely to outlive aging president, whose son is already being groomed as country's next chief executive. Nearly a decade after its independence in 1991, internal politics of Azerbaijan remain woefully understudied. So far, in fact, there have been no studies devoted entirely to process of Azerbaijani state-building, with most observers of region turning their attention not to Caucasus but to Central Asia.1 The few recent studies that concentrate on Azerbaijan mostly examine on-going Nagorno-Karabakh conflict2 or questions such as national identity,3 position of women,4 or importance of oil.5 To my knowledge, only Kechichian and Karasik,6 Ochs,7 and very briefly Hiro,8 have examined Azerbaijan's domestic politics. More of necessity than through any fault of authors themselves, however, focus of most of these recent publications has been more broad than specific. This article is intended to fill part of this vacuum by focusing on processes of state-building and political consolidation currently underway in Azerbaijan. State-building and political consolidation are two mutually reinforcing processes. State-building is process whereby various institutions of state are actually created and made operational. These include everything from commanding heights of power, where top executive leadership stands at pinnacle, all way to the trenches, comprised of such officials as tax collectors, police officers, teachers, and other foot soldiers of state.9 Political consolidation takes state-building one step further and occurs in relation to society: it is process through which state institutions make themselves operational in relation to different layers and groups within society. Different states have different agendas and capabilities. Thus political consolidation may mean different things for different states, or for same state at different times. Some regimes simply want to stay in power, others may have strong developmental agendas, while still others may have their capabilities enhanced or reduced over time and thus change their agendas accordingly. The Azerbaijani state has been able to reconstruct and consolidate itself within context of a largely depoliticized and demoralized society that is still suffering from effects of war with Armenia and rapidly declining standards of living. Fragile, indeed fluid, state institutions initially paved way for rise of powerful political personalities, one of whom, Heidar Aliyev, assumed presidency and in turn gave shape to emerging institutional arrangements of state. A presidential monarchy of sorts has thus emerged, resting on a social contract according to which society's political acquiescence is guaranteed by a cease-fire with Armenia, establishment of law and order in Baku and elsewhere, and promises of vast riches through future oil exports. Although state is far from governing with total impunity, difficult economic predicaments within which Azeri people find themselves give state leaders more leeway than otherwise would have been possible. …" @default.
