摘要：In explaining the different state-building outcomes in Chechnya and Ingushetia, the author argues that clan (teip) ties do not play the defining role. Instead, state-building has an impact on factors which shape the composition of the elite by dictating criteria for their recruitment. It also has an impact on the system of checks and balances and the strength of the opposition. The factors influencing the nature of ties within government include five patterns of integration: descent (clanship), kinship, territory, religion, and ideology. Additionally, integrative patterns such as acquaintances, colleagues, friends and professionals are important. The prominence of each factor depends on elite choices and the demands of the state-building project.
