| Sommario/riassunto: | This examination of the political, social, and cultural changes of Kyrgyzstan since the collapse of the Soviet Union offers tools to go beyond the country's simplistic dual status of being both an "island of democracy" and a "failing state" to a more nuanced understanding of its own position and its role in the region. |
