However, the success of its democratization efforts remains questionable in countries that lack an EU membership perspective. The case of post-soviet Central Asia, where the EU declares democracy promotion among its key priorities yet is confronted with unfavorable domestic conditions for democratization and often fails to follow through, is an eye-opening example. Vera Axyonova`s study offers the first comprehensive evaluation of the micro-level effects of the EU engagement in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan and examines the factors that have made the EU efforts more or less successful in Central Asia. 330 1 $a"Vera Axyonova`s book offers an insightful and refreshing analysis of the European democratization strategy in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. The book is a must-read for all those interested in understanding the very limited success of EU democratization tools in Central Asia and the challenges that European institutions face in their promotion of a value-based agenda."-Marlene Laruelle, Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University 410 0$aInterdisciplinary series of the Centre for Intercultural and European Studies ;$vVolume 11. 606 $ademocratization 606 $aUzbekistan 606 $asanctions 606 $aKyrgyzstan 606 $aEuropean Union 606 $atransformation 606 $apolicy 606 $aCentral Asia 606 $ahuman rights 615 4$ademocratization 615 4$aUzbekistan 615 4$asanctions 615 4$aKyrgyzstan 615 4$aEuropean Union 615 4$atransformation 615 4$apolicy 615 4$aCentral Asia 615 4$ahuman rights 676 $a327.11 700 $aAxyonova$b Vera$4aut$01151383 702 $aHoner$b Anne$4edt 702 $aHinnenkamp$b Volker$4edt 702 $aHentges$b Gudrun$4edt 702 $aPlatzer$b Hans-Wolfgang$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961384803321 996 $aThe European Union's democratization policy for Central Asia$94031021 997 $aUNINA
