本文认为，在全球化时代的塔吉克斯坦国家的性质。它以国际危机组织最近的一份报告《塔吉克斯坦：走向失败》为陪衬。本文质疑这一主张，并发现它是基于一个穷人的概念化的国家，无视国家理论在过去二十年取得的进展。然而，不能简单地对这一有问题的宣言置之不理，因为它来自权威来源，必须考虑到它对塔吉克斯坦国家地位的构成作用。因此，本文从社会学和人类学文献中关于全球集会，特别是萨森的非国有化概念的角度，从理论上考虑了塔吉克斯坦在世界政治中的地位。它继续调查当代塔吉克斯坦国家的一个案例：国有的塔吉克铝业公司（Talco）的国际贸易安排和收费协议。本文认为，后苏联，冲突后的塔吉克斯坦国家不是简单地由精英网络或外壳的政权人员捕获。相反，虽然它是一个明确的“国有化国家”，但它已经沿着去国有化的路线发生了转变。塔吉克斯坦的官方机构与跨国公司和捐助机构等全球行为体合作，已被纳入某些全球经济和政治组合。本文讨论了所有这一切的影响，从民族-领土国家模式的空洞化以及经济和政治路线的建立，这些路线使国家在某些方面成为全球性的。
This paper considers the nature of Tajikistani statehood in an era of globalization. It takes as its foil a recent report of the International Crisis Group, ‘Tajikistan: on the road to failure’. The paper interrogates this claim and finds that it is based on a poor conceptualization of the state which disregards advances in state theory made in the last two decades. However, this problematic declaration cannot simply be dismissed but, being from an authoritative source, must be considered for its constitutive functions for Tajikistani statehood. The paper thus considers Tajikistan's position in world politics theoretically in terms of the sociological and anthropological literature on global assemblages, particularly Sassen's concept of denationalization. It goes on to investigate a single case of the contemporary Tajikistani state: the state-owned Tajik Aluminium Company's (Talco) international trading arrangements and tolling agreements. The paper argues that the post-Soviet, post-conflict Tajikistani state is not simply captured by elite networks or a shell for the personnel of the regime. Rather, whilst an explicitly ‘nationalizing state’, it has been transformed along the lines of denationalization. Tajikistan's official institutions, in cooperation with global actors from multinational corporations to donor agencies, have been incorporated within certain global economic and political assemblages. The paper discusses the implications of all this in terms of the consequent hollowing out of the national-territorial state model and the establishing of lines of economics and politics which make the state, in parts, global.
