From the erosion of state legitimacy in Lebanon to the use of smartphones in Kyrgyzstan, from a Polish suburb to the music scene in Azerbaijan, this volume attempts to explain why, in a variety of world regions, a substantial number of people tend to ignore or act against state rules. We propose to look at informality beyond simplistic associations of the phenomenon with a single category such as "informal labour" or "corruption". By doing thi...

This book explores the function of the ¿everyday¿ in the formation, consolidation and performance of national, sub-national and local identities in the former socialist region. It demonstrates how the study of mundane practices is a meaningful way of understanding the socio-political processes of identity formation at every level of a sta

From Bosnia to Central Asia, passing through Russia and Azerbaijan, the contributions to this book illustrate the multi-faceted and complex nature of informality. It was originally published as two special issues, of Caucasus Survey and the Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe.

This volume explores the continuous line from informal and unrecorded practices all the way up to illegal and criminal practices, performed and reproduced by both individuals and organisations. The authors classify them as alternative, subversive forms of governance performed by marginal (and often invisible) peripheral actors. The volume studies how the informal and the extra-legal unfold transnationally and, in particular, how and why they h...

This book was originally published as a special issue of Small Wars & Insurgencies.

How to find the money to go there? Is it worth it to act as a peer reviewer? What publishers are best to target? Is publishing a chapter in an edited book worth the work?This book is intended to help sch...

This book critically engages with how formal and informal mechanisms of governance are used across the world. Specifically, it analyzes how the governance mechanisms of formal institutions are questioned, challenged and renegotiated through informal institutions. Whilst there is an emerging body of scholarship focusing on informal practices, this is scattered across a number of disciplines. This edited collection, by contrast, fosters a dialog...

A much-needed analysis of the gap between state policy and on-the-ground reality that will be invaluable to both academics and policymakers.

This book illustrates why and how informality in governance is not necessarily transitory or temporary, but a constant in most systems of the world. The difference between various administrative structures is not whether informality is present or not, but where, in which areas, it is located. The essays gathered in this volume demonstrate that, in some cases, informal mechanisms are self-protective, while, in others, they are perceived as 'nor...
