International support for democracy in Central Asia despite many attempts has had little impact, and has become a secondary objective after human rights monitoring and promoting rule of law reform. Central Asian regimes see democracy as a threat to their existence but try to maintain a façade of democracy for the sake of appearances. Is Central Asia a no-go area for democracy promoters ? primarily the EU, but also the U.S., OSCE, UNDP and others ? or are there any entry points?
