Mahalla - Traditional Institution in Tajikistan and Civil Society in the West

By Saidbek Goziev

The study compares the traditional Tajik social institution of mahalla - neighborhood - with the concept of civil society generated in Western culture. While mahalla is a typical Eastern concept, embracing the spirit of collectivism, in Western societies, individualism is highly valued. But there are also points that both societies have in common.
