THE GENERAL GOVERNORATE OF TURKESTAN (1867-1917): GOVERNANCE, LEGAL SYSTEM, AND THE ROLE OF GOVERNORS
Keywords:
Turkestan, Governors, Legal systemAbstract
This study examines the General Governorate of Turkestan from 1867 to 1917, focusing on the pivotal role of governors in shaping the legal system and ensuring the rule of law. It highlights the governors' administrative authority, efforts to implement codified laws, and their strategies for mediating ethnic tensions in a culturally diverse region. While they aimed to modernize the legal framework, the coexistence of Russian legal codes and local customs posed significant challenges. Ultimately, the governors' actions both facilitated and complicated governance, leaving a lasting impact on the socio-legal dynamics of Central Asia that resonates to this day.
