摘要

根据最新的民族志研究，本文考察了2020年后吉尔吉斯斯坦总统贾帕罗夫和安全部长塔希耶夫是如何建立政治联盟的。他们的“串联”统治建立在友谊纽带、家庭纽带和通过kusturizatsia（对犯罪网络和腐败官员的合法勒索）进行的经济控制之上。利用萨林斯的互惠概念，我展示了金钱是如何形成他们权力的核心，通过礼物约束盟友，同时通过武力碾压对手。国家权力与犯罪企业的融合揭示了后苏联时代专制统治的新模式。

Tandem politics and kusturizatsia: Power and money in contemporary Kyrgyzstan

Drawing on fresh ethnographic research, this article examines how President Japarov and Security Chief Tashiev built their political alliance in post-2020 Kyrgyzstan. Their ‘tandem’ rule rests on a mix of friendship ties, family bonds and economic control through kusturizatsia – legalized extortion of criminal networks and corrupt officials. Using Sahlins’ concept of reciprocity, I show how money flows form the heart of their power, binding allies through gifts while crushing opponents through force. The tandem's fusion of state authority with criminal enterprise reveals new patterns of authoritarian rule in post-Soviet space.
