Huseyn Aliyev examines how, when, and under which conditions democratic institutional reforms affect informal institutions in hybrid regimes, countries transitioning to democracy. He analyzes the impact of institutional changes on the use of informal practices and what happens when democratic reforms succeed. Does informality disappear, or do elites and populations continue relying on informal structures? When Informal Institutions Change engages with a growing body of literature to expand the analysis of the impact of institutional reforms on informal institutions beyond disciplinary boundaries, and combines theoretical insights from comparative politics with economic and social theories on informal relations. In addition, Aliyev offers insights relevant to democratization, institutionalism, and human geography. Detailed case studies of three transitional post-Soviet regimesGeorgia, Moldova, and Ukraineillustrate the contentious relationship between democratic institutional reforms and informality in the broader context. Aliyev shows in order for institutional reform to succeed in strengthening, democratizing, and formalizing institutions, it is important to approach informal practices and institutions as instrumental for its effectiveness. These findings have implications not only for hybrid regimes, but also for other post-Soviet or post-communist countries.

An impressive accomplishment. Aliyev engages with numerous literatures from multiple disciplines to provide valuable insights into both the durability and the malleability of informal practices in post-Soviet politics. For theoretical as well as geopolitical reasons, his selection of Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova for detailed comparative case studies could not be more opportune."" - William Reisinger, University of Iowa ""The book makes an excellent contribution to the literature and provides a timely analysis of the three important countries that it examines. The book will definitely be sought after by scholars working to understand the prospects for reform in the former Soviet Union."" - Robert Orttung, The George Washington University
