  • Description

    Central Asia: The Space of “Silk Democracy”: Political Parties The chosen topic is extensive and multifaceted, so we decided to present it in the form of a series of works united by a single title - "Central Asia: the Space of Silk Democracy". The title was chosen for symbolic reasons, as reflecting a unique regional semiotics. The concept of the "Silk Road" has long become a special brand, a calling card of Central Asia. It is so popular that it is used in various connotations: the Silk Road refers to gas and oil pipelines, railways and highways, new airlines, migration flows of people and diplomatic relations, etc. The expression "silk democracy" is used precisely to indicate a special regional flavor in such a sphere as building democracy in the specific historical, geographical, cultural and social conditions of Central Asia. But this expression is also used to describe the "silk", i.e. smooth, problem-free, controlled, often imitative process, so characteristic of this region. Finally, this symbolic expression seems to reflect the fact that, moving along the smooth "silk" road to democracy, we constantly slip into the authoritarian field, discovering for ourselves again and again a simple truth: the path to democracy cannot in fact be smooth and problem-free.
