Abstract	"The author focuses on the relationship between the public and the authorities in Kyrgyzstan before the turmoil in March 2005. Since the author is the director of a local NGO in Kyrgyzstan, she was able to provide many interesting insights into the role of civil society - namely political parties, non-governmental organizations and the local self-government. In her view, all political parties lack clear programmes and fail to involve the public. This is why their impact in the political system has been quite insignificant. Civil society does not have any influence on economic, social, nor political reforms in the country either, because policy-making is almost exclusively reserved for governmental institutions. She very much appreciates a first public dialogue with the participation of officials of the highest level, which was initiated by civil society with the active support of the OSCE. Finally, she sees an important factor in the democratization of both political life and political institutions in human rights education and demands a nation-wide training programme for democracy in order to strengthen the political culture especially that of the younger generation."
