Tulös est une bergère kazakhe que j'ai connue en 1993. Dans les pâturages, cette ancienne voisine de yourte est l'objet de plaisanteries en raison de son comportement décalé et de sa coquetterie. Avec le temps, elle se met à divaguer et finit par délaisser son foyer. Au printemps 2010, je la retrouve alors qu'elle poursuit une initiation. Elle est aujourd'hui bagsi, c'est-à-dire chaman soufi. Au Ladakh, Padma est lha mo, à savoir oracle. De sa mère, sa grand-mère et son arrière-grand-mère, elle hérite la faculté d'être investie par un lha une divinité. Sa grand-mère l'initie et le Rinpoché du monastère de Stakna l'autorise à exercer en reconnaissant la présence de la divinité qui vient régulièrement la visiter et parle par sa bouche. Entendre, percevoir, éprouver les invisibles. Ce livre porte sur un ensemble de pratiques contemporaines typiquement qualifiées de chamanisme. Au Kazakhstan comme au Ladakh, le monde ordinaire est peuplé de manifestations d'invisibles (ancêtres, esprits, divinités). Une longue enquête auprès de médiateurs - bagsis (chamans soufis kazakhs) et lha mo ou lha pa (oracles ladakhi) - révèle toute l'importance de la circulation de la parole dans la communication entre les humains et les invisibles. Il s'agit de collaborer avec les invisibles afin de présumer l'ordre des mondes aussi bien que les équilibres sociaux. Cela requiert une clairvoyance particulière, une perception aiguisée du milieu, une aptitude à reconnaître les moindres signes de l'environnement : tout un savoir du monde.

In the book, authors from eleven post-communist countries analyse the specific legal and policital character of the organs of the control of law constitutionality in post-Soviet states. This is done through explaining the legal and political character of those bodies as well as their place in the system of the state power. The authors also examine tasks assigned to those bodies, the manner of their establishment, the course of their work, the legal force of their decisions and the legal status of their members. In the conclusions, the authors refer to the optimisation of the political status of the organs controlling the constitutionality of law as organs of the protection of the constitution. Research findings, conclusions and recommendations formulated in the book can be applied with a view to changing the mechanisms of the protection of constitutionality in post-Soviet states or presenting lawmakers in other countries with consequences of adopting particular legal solutions.

This book offers the first multidisciplinary overview of water resources issues and management in the Aral Sea Basin, covering both the Amu Darya and Syr Darya River Basins. The two main rivers of Amu Darya and Syr Darya and their tributaries comprise the Aral Sea Basin area and are the lifeline for about 70 million inhabitants in Central Asia. Written by regional and international experts, this book critically examines the current state, trends and future of water resources management and development in this major part of the Central Asia region. It brings together insights on the history of water management in the region, surface and groundwater assessment, issues of transboundary water management and environmental degradation and restoration, and an overview of the importance of water for the key economic sectors and overall socio-economic development of Central Asian countries, as well as of hydro politics in the region. The book also focusses on the future of water sector development in the Basin, including a review of local and international actors, as well as an analysis of the current status and progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals by Basin countries. The book will be essential reading for those interested in sea basin management, environmental policy in Central Asia and water resource management more widely. It will also act as a reference source for decision-makers in state agencies, as well as a background source of information for NGOs.

This paper introduces concepts of public sector balance sheet (PSBS) strength, taking into account different aspects of what governments own in addition to what they owe. It develops measures of PSBS strength and investigates their macroeconomic implications. Empirical estimations show that in their pricing of sovereign bonds, financial markets account for government assets and net worth in addition to their liabilities. Furthermore, economies with stronger public sector balance sheets experience shallower recessions and recover faster in the aftermath of economic downturns. This faster return to growth can be explained by the greater space for countercyclical fiscal policy in countries with stronger balance sheets.
