Abstract
The authors assess various writings on the ‘coloured revolutions’ more generally and the ‘Tulip Revolution’ specifically. They place this scholarship into three broad categories: an assessment of the Akaev years from a democratization and state-building perspective; the nature of and relationship between formal and informal institutions prior to and after March 2005; and, finally, the domestic and international factors behind mobilization. These correspond broadly to the three areas of enquiry by the contributors to this collection.Keywords
