TENSIONS AND TENDENCIES IN THE AREA OF CENTRAL ASIA WITH EXTENSION TOWARDS THE MIDDLE EAST
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2005, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Democracy, the Western recipe, means a pluralist political life and free elections, which should involve as many candidates as possible. Taking into consideration the democratic exercise, within a limited period of time in Central Asia’ states, a change of political regime, in the case of free elections, is very likely to involve a massive division of the sheres of influence, rather than a civilized retreat in the opposition. Democracy needs certain homogeneity of the politicians and a certain degree of safety for the people that did not support the party in power. The main “political” alternative is in fact represented by the radical Islamists who are thus allowed to become legal and, from another perspective; there exists the risk of the authoritarian rules becoming general in some states (e.g. Uzbekistan and lately Azerbaijan) with negative consequences for the security environment of an area.
