The entities surveyed appear in the mid-1980s and early 1990s as a product of the resistance of the truckers before the growth of transport companies in road transport and its tendency to monopolize the distribution of loads. This context was understood throughout the world of technological and organizational changes engendered in the work process in the 1970s and the implementation of neo-liberalism, a process which later merged in Brazil in different ways, but not antagonistically Fordism/Taylorism and Toyotism. However, given the particularity of the work of the truckers, a condition that refers to the insertion of these subjects in the process of capitalist Brazilian production, it is important to show the precarious conditions in this industry: what kind of outsourcing, such as technological and organizational innovations were appropriate and what objective and subjective implications were imposed to the category of workers concerned. This process, fraught with contradictions, requires advances and limits in the forms of economic and political organization of the truckers while it is also shaped by the pressure that these guys men perform. From this point, we would like to remind the peculiarities of class and class consciousness in this category.

This thesis analyses local forms of civil society practised in contemporary Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan and provides a common thread on which to base a Central Asian understanding of civil society. I look to find out factors and constituents, which on the surface might be different from a classical liberal concept of civil society. The thesis applies a wider anthropological framework, which sees civil society as a broad network of social relationships, including traditional forms of associational life that can be relatively independent of the state. The study draws upon a multi-locale ethnography in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan including in-depth and focus group interviews, participant observations, case studies, and archival research. I have investigated associations whose activities are concerned with reciprocal relations within society based on community solidarity, self-help, and mutual trust. These include professional associations, trade unions, ethno-cultural associations, religious organisations, courtyard clubs, the traditional Uzbek neighbourhood institution of mahalla, and informal practices of gap and khashar. While arguing that the meaning of civil society depends on context, the study has found that traditional elements of the preserved social fabric in Central Asian societies are reflected in today's networks of individuals. The thesis has generated knowledge on how local forms of associational life define the civil sphere by shaping social organisation, solidarity and mobilisation. Through empirical understanding of the public space, formal and informal networks that bond people together, we can locate wider ethnographic differences between not only the original and Central Asian concepts of civil society but also between two local cultures of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
