CACI Forum

Kyrgyzstan: Prospects for Sovereignty and Stability

Kyrgyzstan went through two major political upheavals in the past decade--in 2005 and 2010, with the latter followed by serious inter-ethnic violence in the country’s south.  At the same time, Kyrgyzstan embarked on the experiment--unique for the region--of introducing a parliamentary form of government.  The country has also committed to join the Russian-led Eurasian Union.

How has Kyrgyzstan’s political system fared in the past four years?  Have inter-ethnic tensions in the south been alleviated, and what is the role of Kyrgyz nationalism in the country’s politics?

And finally, what are the prospects for Kyrgyzstan’s sovereignty and independence in joining the Eurasian Union?
