| Preliminary scope of work |
| Tato práce se věnuje čínským ekonomickým stimulům v Kyrgyzstánu. Nejprve představuje vzestup Číny jako hlavní ekonomické síly ve Střední Asii od roku 2000 a následně používá Blanchardovu a Ripsmanovu teorii ekonomické politiky k určení úrovně státnosti Kyrgyzstánu a pravděpodobnosti jeho podlehnutí ekonomickým stimulům během éry prezidenta Atambajeva. Cílem je poskytnout pohled na ekonomickou politiku z perspektivy přijímajícího státu a vysvětlit, proč spolupráce Kyrgyzstánu s Čínou byla méně úspěšná než v případě ostatních středoasijských zemí. |
| Preliminary scope of work in English |
| This work delves into the modalities of Chinese economic incentives and their reception in Kyrgyzstan. After tracing the rise of China as the main economic power in Central Asia since 2000, it uses Blanchard's and Ripsman's theory of economic statecraft to evaluate Kyrgyzstan's level of stateness and its susceptibility to economic inducements during president Atambayev's era. The objective is to address the issue of economic statecraft from the perspective of the target state and explain why Kyrgyzstan's co-operation with China has been less successful than in the case of other Central Asian countries. |
