Содействие демократии Европейского Союза в Центральной Азии. Исследование политических интересов, влияния и развития в Казахстане и Кыргызстане в 2007–2013 гг.

The book presents a comprehensive analytical framework for the evaluation of democracy promotion, including factors which may facilitate or impede democracy promotion in Central Asia. Sharshenova undertakes two original case studies on Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. By contrasting the success of democracy promotion in the two countries with their differing strategic importance for the EU, she provides valuable insights into how non-normative interests interfere with normatively driven policies.
