Abstract
Kyrgyzstan’s post-colonial transition from socialism to democratic civil society has been constrained by a number of adverse and interrelated political, economic and social factors. In the early 1990s, the Republic strategically positioned itself as a pro-western, liberal economy in Central Asia and successfully attracted foreign investment as loans, long-term credits and grants for development including tourism. Over the 1990s, however, the Akayev government’s liberal trajectory shifted to a more authoritarian position; it failed to develop the rule of law or address the deepening socio-economic crisis, which finally resulted in the ‘tulip’ revolution of 24th March 2005. The paper outlines the components and dynamics of the ongoing politico-economic transition in Kyrgyzstan with particular reference to the development of tourism, the impact of the insurrection on this sector and the prospects for the future of the Republic.
