THE MAIN RESULTS OF KYRGYZSTAN’S DOMESTIC POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN 2009
Abstract
The year 2009 was full of political events for Kyrgyzstan, the most noteworthy being reelection of the current president, Kurman bek Bakiev, to a second term and reformatting, in a certain sense, of relations with the country’s main partners on the world arena. The latter had an influence on the alignment of domestic political forces, whereby it was revealed that Western sponsors and partners had little interest in the Kyrgyz opposition.
This prompted the government’s supporters to talk about a period of “stability” and a transition to a new stage of administrative reforms called upon to consolidate the position of the ruling elite even more.
In this context, several experts believe that Bakiev’s victory put an end to the post-March period, which can be described as a time of struggle of all against all. Energetic activity on the part of the opposition should now slowdown, which will allow Kurmanbek Bakiev’s team to take up a key position.
In addition, it is very likely that the authoritarian development model will be reproduced, in compliance with which power will go to a successor, while democratic institutions will be strictly formal and serve the interests of a narrow circle of people.
