Only a few years later, however, the country ceased producing anything of worth and developed a dependence on the outside world, particularly on international aid. Its principal industry, sheep breeding, was decimated by reforms suggested by international institutions providing assistance. Virtually annihilated by privatization of the economy and deserted by Moscow, the Kyrgyz have turned this economic “opening up” into a subtle strategy to capture all manner of resources from abroad. In this study, the author describes the encounters, sometimes comical and tinged with incomprehension, between the local population and the well-meaning foreigners who came to reform them.Dislocations ;v. 16.GlobalizationKyrgyzstanKyrgyzstanEconomic conditions1991-KyrgyzstanPolitics and government1991-Globalization320.95843Pétric Boris-Mathieu1972-1534978Schoch CynthiaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797895103321Where are all our sheep3782923UNINA
