NEW MEDIA IN NEW DEMOCRACIES: PERCEPTIONS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE AMONG TRADITIONAL AND INTERNET-BASED MEDIA USERS IN KYRGYZSTAN A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in The Manship School of Mass Communication by Svetlana V. Kulikova Diploma, Kyrgyz State University (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan), 1993 M.A., Central European University (Budapest, Hungary), 1995 M.S., Kansas State University, 1997 August, 2008 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research project would have never happened without the help of student volunteers in Kyrgyzstan, and my enormous gratitude goes to them: Bektursun, Erlan, Azamat, Jamilya, Elira and Asel from the Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University (KTMU), American University of Central Asia (AUCA) senior journalism students Elena, Alena, Gulnara, Alexsandra, Gulsana, Maria, and Nastya, and the entire class of 15 AUCA junior journalism students in my Research Methods course, with Nazira and Veronika in particular. I will be always grateful for all their help in collecting the huge amounts of data, and in particular administering the questionnaire. Separate thanks go to Marina Sivasheva, chair of AUCA Journalism Department, and its office manager Damira Sapanova for giving me an opportunity to teach while conducting field research in Kyrgyzstan, as well as for creating pleasant and productive work environment and making sure that Journalism teachers have all they need. Elira Turdubaeva, a PhD student at KTMU, deserves the highest praise for her organizational skills, making my teaching at KTMU possible, and recruiting volunteers for the project. From the moment this project was only roughly conceptualized, my committee members were extremely supportive and helped me stay focused and sane. The project started with Dr. David Perlmutter, who motivated me to move into the research area of new media and asked me stimulating questions to improve my vague and broad ideas. Dr. Kirby Goidel, my committee chair, gave me incredible support, calmed me down, and brought me back to reality with his healthy skepticism and sense of humor throughout the project. Dr. Lance Porter’s course in New Media allowed me to develop a theoretically well-grounded dissertation proposal, while his mixed-method approach to research became an inspiration and a model for my own research. Dr. Jim Garand is ii by far the best quantitative researcher I ever worked with and an unsurpassed teacher of statistics, thanks to whom I fell in love with numbers again. Dr. Monica Postelnicu gave me the most valuable support with her fresh-PhD advice, in particular in the last semester of my dissertation writing, by being a most understanding and flexible research professor. Dr. Eileen Meehan will always be remembered as the most brilliant, deep, and patient intellectual and the best teacher of political economy, who renewed my interest in Marx and critical school of thought. I would have not received this degree without the people who helped me choose the Manship School and finish the program. My first thanks go to Dr. Ralph Izard, who convinced me to join the program and stayed genuinely interested in my progress. Dr. Peggy DeFleur, I will be always grateful for all your support and understanding to my challenges and problems. Jack Hamilton, you are the most “benevolent dictator” who runs a very fine school and will always stay in my heart and mind as a talented teacher and a great model for everything. George Krimsky, I thank you from the depth of my heart for being a great friend and steering me to study at LSU. Jack and Connie Ronald – no words can describe what you have done for me in these four years through the help and advice you gave at critical times. Bob Tinsley, my deeply felt thanks go to you as well, for your support, encouragement, and friendship. I thank you all for believing in me, at times more than I believed in myself. Emily Metzgar, Raluca Cosma, Jane Daley, Shenid Bhayroo, and Mihaela Craioveanu, I hope our friendship will last and prove that people stick together in both challenging and happy times. Elena Petrenko and Lada Nazarova – thank you both for staying true to our long and beautiful friendship. Last but most important, Mom, Inna, Daria, and the light and love of my life, my beautiful son Ilia – everything I do in this life is driven by you and meant for you. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................................ii LIST OF TABLES ..........................................................................................................................v LIST OF FIGURES.......................................................................................................................vii ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................viii INTRODUCTION...........................................................................................................................1 CHAPTER 1.

Prof. Dr. Pınar Akçalı April 2004, 158 p. This study seeks to analyze the process of transition and democratization in Kyrgyzstan from 1990 to 2000. The collapse of the Soviet Union opened new political perspectives for Kyrgyzstan and a chance to develop sovereign state based on democratic principles and values. Initially Kyrgyzstan attained some progress in building up a democratic state. However, in the second half of 1990s Kyrgyzstan shifted toward authoritarianism. Therefore, the full-scale transition to democracy has not been realized, and a well-functioning democracy has not been established.

  • Hizb Ut-Tahrir in Kyrgyzstan: Quantitative Media Content Analysis
    conflict & communication online, Vol. 5, No. 2, 2006 www.cco.regener-online.de ISSN 1618-0747 Irina Wolf Hizb ut-Tahrir in Kyrgyzstan: Quantitative Media Content Analysis Kurzfassung: Für den Durchschnittsbürger stammt Wissen über jegliche Organisationen normalerweise eher von den Massenmedien als aus direkter Interaktion, insbesondere, wenn eine Organisation geheim ist. Diese Studie versucht zu ermitteln, wie viele und welche Art von Informationen die Menschen in Kirgisistan durch die Lektüre der Vechernii Bishkek (VB), der nationalen kirgisischen Zeitung mit der höchsten Auflage im Land in der Periode von 2001–2005 über die religiöse Organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) erhalten haben. Diese Orga- nisation wurde von der kirgisischen Regierung als extremistisch eingestuft. Die Haupthypothese dieser Studie, dass die Berichterstattung über Hizb ut-Tahrir in der Vechernii Bishkek in den letzten fünf Jahren kein vollständiges Bild der Organisation geliefert habe, wurde mittels elf Unterhypothesen geprüft. Die Untersuchungsmethode ist zweigeteilt – quantitativ und qualitativ. Halbstrukturierte Interviews von vier Journalisten der Vechernii Bishkek, die den größten Teil der relevanten Artikel geschrieben hatten, und qualitative Inhaltsanalysen der ausgewählten Artikel trugen dazu bei, die quantitativen Ergebnisse zu erklären und die "Warum" und "Na und?"-Fragen zu beantworten. Während der letzten fünf Jahre haben VB-Journalisten mehr Artikel über HT geschrieben als andere Journalisten der bedeutendsten kir- gisischen Printmedien. VB scheiterte jedoch aufgrund politischer und sozialer Einschränkungen für Journalisten und Zeitungen daran, ein vollständiges Bild und ausgewogene Informationen über diese Organisation zu liefern. Jede positive Berichterstattung über die verbotene und geheime Organisation richtet sich gegen die offizielle Meinung über HT, die noch immer die Tagesordnung für private, aber regie- rungsorientierte Zeitungen in Kirgisistan bestimmt.

    OswcOMMentary issue 38 | 27.07.2010 | ceNTRe fOR eAsTeRN sTudies Russia’s position on the events in Kyrgyzstan (April – June 2010) NTARy Me Wojciech Górecki ces cOM Russia was the first state in the world to de facto recognise the regime change in Kyrgyzstan that took place on 7 April 2010. This recogni- tion, along with a previous campaign by the Russian media against the tudies then President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, has given rise to suspicion that s the events of April were provoked by Russia. However, it seems no more than reasonable to say that Russia provided some inspiration and astern lobbying in that direction. Russia offered support to the new Kyrgyz e government almost immediately, albeit conditionally. Russia’s relations with Roza Otunbayeva’s government have been changing in nature; they are currently much cooler than they had been immediately after the entre for coup. There are many indications that this change was a reaction to the c extension of the lease agreement for the American military base in the Manas airport. At the same time, Moscow remains in contact with the political rivals to the current regime, which suggests that the Kremlin is NTARy preparing for different developments, and does not regard the current Me crisis as having been fully resolved. Despite the interim government’s plea for help, Russia refused to un- ces cOM dertake military intervention in southern Kyrgyzstan, which plunged into ethnic unrest in June. This shows that Russia is wary of being dragged into a long-standing and bloody conflict in the region, which tudies could entail considerable expenses and jeopardise Russia’s authority.

    Università degli Studi di Cagliari DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN STORIA, ISTITUZIONI E RELAZIONI INTERNAZIONALI DELL’ASIA E DELL’AFRICA MODERNA E CONTEMPORANEA XXVI Ciclo Power and Dams in Central Asia Settore scientifico disciplinare di afferenza SPS/14 Presentata da: Dott. Filippo Menga Coordinatore Dottorato: Prof.ssa Bianca Maria Carcangiu Tutor/Relatore Prof.ssa Annamaria Baldussi Esame finale anno accademico 2012 – 2013 Abstract The purpose of this research is to analyse and understand the role of state power in transboundary water relations, providing an in–depth analysis of the evolution of interstate relations in Central Asia in the field of water in the period 1991-2011. Taking as a case study the planned construction of the Rogun and Kambarata dams in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, the research looks at the various forms of overt and covert power shaping interstate relations and at the way hegemonic and counter-hegemonic measures are put in place in an international river basin. The overarching hypothesis driving this study is that the intimate correlation between the concepts of power and hegemony can offer key insights to the analysis and understanding of transboundary water relations. While, on the one hand, the analytical focus is placed on state power, on the other hand, hegemonic and counter-hegemonic tactics represent the ways in which power is wielded and observed. This research makes an original contribution to the literature on hydropolitics in Central Asia, offering fresh theoretical interpretations to the subjects of power and counter- hegemony in the Aral Sea basin and presenting the original “circle of hydro-hegemony”, an analytical framework in which the various forms of power are “connective” in the function of hegemony.
