Abstract
While in the Ottoman Empire reconciling disputing parties in sharÄ«Ê¿a courts occurred without the direct involvement of state officials, in modern Central Asia functionaries appointed by the rulerâs chancellery acted as mediators and mediation procedures were consistent with the stateâs intervention in the resolution of a conflict. This ended with Russian colonization. Conflict resolution was left to the sharÄ«Ê¿a courts; mediation continued to be important but state appointees were no longer officially involved in bringing it about. The Russian colonial and Soviet administrations made the community responsible for seeking amicable settlements. Only afterwards did they realize how easy this made it for local groups to circumvent the stateâs supervision.
