Staple food prices, livelihood activities and transitory food insecurity in the Kyrgyz Republic: a case studyJanuary 2019 (has links)
archives@tulane.edu / Post-Soviet countries in Central Asia are imprinted by a unique historical legacy which continually complicate their development choices. This is a case study of post-Soviet development, as seen through the lens of the Kyrgyz Republic. The Kyrgyz Republic has faced repeated shocks and experienced transitory periods of food insecurity in the recent past. To understand these development phenomena, this research mixed quantitative and qualitative components in a multi-phase design to examine seasonal aspects of staple food price spikes and the impact of dominant Kyrgyz livelihood activities. Concentric elements of Sustainable Livelihoods approaches, New Economics of Labor Migration, and Sustainable Human Development provided a theoretical base for investigation. Phase I examined staple food price patterns and available Kyrgyz household-level survey data via quantitative analysis for links to seasonal periods of transitory food insecurity. Phase II used qualitative surveys and profiles collected within Kyrgyz staple food markets to include multiple perspectives and aid interpretation. Research findings related a need for greater inclusion in Kyrgyz household survey data, resulting in a recommendation to improve targeting of existing survey efforts in ex-urban areas with growing populations of internal migrants. Research findings also pointed to potentially expanding frequency of collection, in order to capture seasonal elements of Kyrgyz livelihood activities currently not reflected in publicly available household level data. Research conclusions discuss potential mechanisms to increase participation in development policy formation at local and regional levels to lower costs and improve the quality of implementation. / 1 / Michael Heaney

Analýza vlivu "prokletých surovin" na ekonomický a politický vývoj Kazachstánu a Kyrgyzstánu po rozpadu Sovětského svazu / Analysis of the influence of "cursed natural resources" on the economic and political development of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan after the disintegration of the Soviet UnionHejzdral, Miroslav January 2018 (has links)
The master thesis deal with relation between socioeconomic and political development in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and their dependence on extraction of oil, respectively on gold. These raw materials are thought to be their major export products. The aim is to determine the impact of raw material extraction on the macroeconomic development of the countries and the widening of their regional differences and to try to explain the declining or stagnant level of democracy in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan by means of the theoretical concept of resource curse. Methodologically, the thesis is done on the basis of statistical analysis of economic indicators such as GDP, HDI, foreign investment, remittances and world prices of raw materials. For a better understanding of regional differences, simple statistical methods such as index of change and the Gini coefficient were used. The work also analyzed the political development using indicators from Freedom House, Human Freedom and The Economist Intelligence Unit that measure the level of democracy and freedom. Interpretation of results is based on previous research of specialized literature and other media sources specializing on selected area. As a result, the very close linkage between macroeconomic development and...

Allah oder Christus? Eine missiologische fallstudie uber die grunde der hinwendungen der kyrgyzen zum Islam und Christentum / Allah or Christ ? a missiological case study analysing the reason for conversions to Islam and Christianity among Kyrgyz peopleZweininger, Jakob 02 1900 (has links)
Summaries in German and English / This thesis is a missiological case study analysing the reasons for conversions to Islam and
Christianity among Kyrgyz people in post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan.
The Kyrgyz people have a rich religious heritage with a history of more than 2,200
years. The uprooting of religion and the atheistic indoctrination by the Soviet government
created a religious vacuum after the breakdown of the Soviet Union and caused a revival of
religious receptivity in the society.
Renewed receptivity to religion in the newly established sovereign Kyrgyzstan was
followed by a rise in religious activity of Muslims and Christians beginning in the late 20th
century. In only 15 years the number of mosques rose from 39 to 1,600 and the number of
professing Christians increased from a few dozen to more than 7,000. This change between
1990 and 2005 developed in three stages through religious instability, an increase in
missionary activity and the posturing of religious ideology during the government’s
democratization process.
A research of individual conversions produced complex results. Muslims were more
attune to traditional religious thinking than were Christians. Most Muslims committed themselves
to Islam because of their ancestral heritage. The secularization of society facilitated the
Kyrgyz to convert to Christianity and turn to Christ due to a crisis in personal identity.
Among Christians, conversions were primarily affected by relatives and friends persuading
them through testimony and example. Most Kyrgyz becoming Muslims were significantly
influenced by their parents. Faith in the existence of God was the basic prerequisite for both
Muslim and Christian commitment to their respective beliefs. For Muslims it meant to obey
the commandments of Allah, but Christians were led to confession of sins and to conversion.
Changes in lifestyles and mindsets Muslims traced back to the Islamic religious tradition. For
Christians, lives were affected through a relationship to Jesus Christ. / Die vorliegende Thesis ist eine missiologische Fallstudie, die die Gruinde der Hinwendung der
Kyrgyzen in der post-sovietischen Zeit zum Islam und Christentum untersucht.
Die Kyrgyzen haben ein reiches religioses Erbe einer uber 2200 jahrigen Geschichte.
Doch mit der religiosen, Entwurzelung und der atheistischen Indoktrination durch die
Sovietregierung entwickelte sich nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sovietunion ein religioses
,Vakuum" und bewirkten ein Wiedererwachen der religiosen Rezeptivitat in der Gesellschaft.
Aufgrund der neuen religiosen Rahmenbedingungen in dem seit 1991 souveranen
Kyrgyzstan folgte vonseiten der Muslime und Christen ein starker Anstieg religioser Aktivitaten.
In nur 15 Jahren stieg die Anzahl der registrierten Moscheen von 39 auf uber 1600 und
die Anzahl der Christen im gleichen Zeitraum von ein paar Dutzend auf uber 7000. Diese
Entwicklung verlief im Zeitraum von 1990 bis 2005 in drei Abschnitten und war gekennzeichnet
von anfanglichen religiosen Aufbruchen, einer Zunahme missionarischer Aktivitaten
und einer religiosen Positionierung im Demokratiesierungsprozess.
Die Untersuchung der individuell erlebten Hinwendungen brachte vielschichtige
Ergebnisse hervor. So war der farmiliare Hintergrund der Muslime im allgemeinen religioser
als der der Christen. Die meisten Muslime bekannten sich aufgrund ihrer Abstammung zum
Islam. Die Sakularisierung der Familien begunstigte die Hinwendung der Kyrgyzen zum
Christentum, die sich vor allem aufgrund einer existenziellen Auseinandersetzung zu Jesus
wandten. Bei Christen waren es vor allem Verwandte und Freunde, die mit Worten und Leben
auf Jesus hinwiesen, bei Muslimen die Eltern. Sowohl bei Muslimen als auch Christen war
der Glaube an die Exitenz Gottes die wesentliche Vorraussetzung, wobei dies die Muslime
zur Befolgung der Gebote Allahs, Christen zur Sundenerkenntnis und einer Bekehrung bewegte.
Eine Lebens- und Sinnesanderung fuhrten Muslime auf den Islam und Christen auf
ihre Beziehung zu Jesus Christus zuruck. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)
