Demokratizacijos procesas ir jo rezultatai Kazachstane ir Kirgizijoje pokomunistiniu laikotarpiu ; Democratization process and it's results in postsoviet republics of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan
Democratization and liberalization are very elaborate processes. This is very obvious in the region of Central Asia. Just after collapse of USSR countries like Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan had to create new or completely modify old constitutions and electoral laws. Officially both countries had chosen democratic systems. That is also marked in the first articles of their constitutions. However real politics in these countries is based on their leaders, "clans" and separate regions preferences. De jure and de facto democracies are accomplished in many different ways. Traditionally democratic freedoms such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom of association – while provided for in the constitutions - are suppressed and/or severely limited. Several democratic transition theories and their adoption in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan will be presented in this study. It will be overviewed not only their development but also marked different classification. Most of the study will be concentrated into electoral systems development and development of each country's constitutions after collapse of USSR. It will be marked different types of ruling systems, which have provided each electoral law or constitution amendments.
