Every European or US consultant for the Kyrgyz government or civil society should read this book, as well as those working with other Central Asian states, given the similarities in their social and governmental structures. It provides valuable insights into the Rule of Law as understood by Kyrgyz society, moving beyond the outdated "teacher's" role of past consultants. The book details the evolution of the Rule of Law before, during, and after the communist era, covering local government elections, the influence of gifts, and the impact of clans and families in parliamentary elections. It emphasizes that while Central Asian countries are not yet beacons of Western-style democracy, there is hope for progress. The author suggests that effective consulting can help preserve beneficial local traditions, fostering an optimistic view of the future. Notably, Kyrgyzstan stands out in Central Asia for its attempts at a pluralistic parliament and a relatively free press, despite ongoing challenges. The text aims to enhance understanding in Europe and North America, addressing the increasingly authoritarian trends in presidential elections. The manuscript, concluding with a concise glossary, serves as an essential legal reference for Central Asia.
