Review
Erica Marat's collected articles provide an incisive analysis of Kyrgyzstan's Tulip Revolution and continuing political turbulence. In an area of the world whose importance is growing but still insufficiently understood these articles provide much needed illumination of Kyrgyzstan's ongoing experiment in democratization. Highly recommended for anyone trying to make sense of Kyrgyz politics or of contemporary political trends in Central Asia. ---- Professor Stephen Blank, Strategic Studies Institute, US Army War College
The March 2005 "Tulip Revolution" in Kyrgyzstan ushered in a sequence of events that challenged conventional ideas about social and political change. There are many suggestions that Kyrgyzstan is a bellwether for countries undergoing post-communist change. In "The Tulip Revolution: Kyrgyzstan One Year Later" Erica Marat offers informed and measured insight into Kyrgyzstan's critical year of change. ---- Gregory Gleason, 2006 Mentor, Eurasian Center for Research, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
The Tulip Revolution is the only comprehensive account of the troublesome political developments in Kyrgyzstan after the political chaos in March 2005 to March 2006. Unique, informative and challenging, this volume offers a balanced view of the past and present problems in Kyrgyzstan. It is thus a vital source for scholars, policymakers and others with an interest in this strategically important region ---- Dr. Niklas Swanstrom, Program Director of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute and Silk Road Studies Program
