THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC SITUATION OF THE KOKAN KHANATE IN THE 18TH-19TH CENTURIES
Abstract
This article examines the socio-economic situation of the Kokan Khanate during the 18th and 19th centuries, highlighting its agricultural productivity, trade dynamics, and social hierarchy. The khanate thrived on fertile lands, facilitating robust trade along Silk Road routes, particularly in textiles and agricultural products. However, a rigid social structure limited mobility for the peasant majority. Internal strife among the nobility and external pressures from the Russian Empire ultimately destabilized the khanate, leading to its decline. This analysis underscores the intricate interplay between socio-economic factors and cultural developments that shaped the Kokan Khanate's legacy in Central Asian history.
