Abstract
Kyrgyzstan gained independence almost 30 years ago, yet multiple key indicators of its socio-economic development suggest that the country’s development model is not efficient and fails to meet contemporary challenges. The national economy is marked by low per capita income, significant labour migration, high level of poverty and social inequality, decreasing human capital, underdeveloped financial system, high foreign liabilities, a low proportion of high-productive industries, poor exporting capacity, etc. The lecturer will try to describe the causes of the inefficiencies of the Kyrgyz model by investigating the complex interplay between economics, politics, and law.
