This book examines two interrelated questions: To what extent has EU democracy promotion in Central Asia been successful? And, to the extent that it was successful, why was it so? The book presents a comprehensive analytical framework for the evaluation of democracy promotion, including factors which may facilitate or hinder democratic development in Central Asia. It demonstrates the validity of a holistic approach to analyzing impediments of democracy promotion meaning that external pro-democratic support is affected by a variety of diverse factors whose impact can vary as international, regional, and domestic conditions change. The stable and rich authoritarian state of Kazakhstan is different from the much poorer Kyrgyzstan—a state prone to political instability, but also to democratic openings. By contrasting the success of democracy promotion in these two countries which have different strategic importance for the EU, this study provides valuable insights into how non-normative interests interfere with normatively driven policies."Sharshenova’s book is well-structured and highly recommended to those who are interested in EU democracy-promotion studies while looking with attention at local and regional dynamics in Central Asia." —Europe-Asia Studies 6/2019Soviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;Volume 180.European UnionCentral AsiaEastern EuropeEuropean UnionCentral AsiaEastern Europe303.484094Sharshenova Aijanaut1170591Umland AndreasedtCrawford GordonauiMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961830003321The European Union's democracy promotion in Central Asia4111665UNINA
