THE INSTITUTIONAL ASPECTS OF ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN CENTRAL ASIA: CASES OF KYRGYZSTAN AND TURKMENISTAN By Lyubov Lakomova Thesis submitted to the department of International and Comparative Politics of the American University of Central Asia in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Bishkek 2014 Abstract The study explains the interplay between economic development and democratization in Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. The role of democratic institutions and of factors that impede development is analyzed and assessed. The thesis identifies what democratization and development are through the arguments and theories of prominent scholars; it also identifies the main challenges to democratization and development in Central Asia and tries to shape a theory of how both development and democracy could be achieved in the region, how Central Asia can transition to less authoritarian governance, how this transition will influence economic development, and what institutions are necessary for the transition. 1 CONTENTS ABSTRACT…………………….……………………………………………………..1 INTRODUCTION………………….…………………………………………………3 LITERATURE REVIEW……………………………………………………………...5 CHAPTER I.

Humans experiment with different forms of governance and economy in order to transition to more advanced living standards, every time improving the potential for more discoveries and the evolution of civilization. Some countries evolved from monarchial rule to democracy, from communism to dictatorship; some adopted free market economies, and some still utilize a regulated planned economy. -
PACE NSC 2014 Round 15 Tossups 1
PACE NSC 2014 Round 15 Tossups 1. This composer wrote a work that describes a sergeant barking at his soldiers to count faster. A male chorus singing the "Shema Yisroel" concludes that work by this man, in which a narrator reads an account of Jews being rounded up in a ghetto. This composer used a controversial "inverted ninth" chord in a a string sextet inspired by a poem about a woman telling her lover that she is bearing another man's child that was written by (*) Richard Dehmel. This composer of of A Survivor from Warsaw developed a system by which all the pitches of a chromatic scale are arranged without repetition into a "tone row". For 10 points, name this composer of Transfigured Night, a leader of the Second Viennese School who developed "twelve-tone technique". ANSWER: Arnold Schoenberg <Lawrence> 2. This man's wife and a flying figure of Nike were removed from a painting in which he stands behind a group of black-robed men passing out black and gold cylinders. This man's mother was ahistorically placed in a painting that also depicts the Turkish emissary Halet Efendi and a crown being lowered onto the head of this man's wife. His name, along with those of Charlemagne and (*) Hannibal, appears on rocks at the foot of a painting in which he gestures upward from atop a rearing horse. A clock reading 4:13 a.m. and a scroll on which the word "Code" is partly visible appear with this man in one of the most famous hand-in-waistcoat portraits. -
