After the collapse of the USSR, Kyrgyzstan chose a path of economic
and political liberalization. Only a few years later, however, the
country ceased producing anything of worth and developed a
dependence on the outside world, particularly on international aid.
Its principal industry, sheep breeding, was decimated by reforms
suggested by international institutions providing assistance.
Virtually annihilated by privatization of the economy and deserted
by Moscow, the Kyrgyz have turned this economic "opening up" into a
subtle strategy to capture all manner of resources from abroad. In
this study, the author describes the encounters, sometimes comical
and tinged with incomprehension, between the local population and
the well-meaning foreigners who came to reform them.
