REGIONALISM AND STATE-BUILDING IN KYRGYZSTAN

Öz

During the Soviet years, while on the one hand the titular nationality was being consolidated culturally, politically and demographically, the republics were also acquiring multi-ethnic character like never before. In some cases this was leading to group conflicts as the economy later years showed signs of stagnation and competition for resources became acute. With central control loosening, chauvinistic tendencies in the form of not only nationalism but also of tribalism and regionalism in the republics increased.
