Summary
"The collapse of the Soviet Union brought about the sudden expansion of the 'developing world', as the populations of many of the former Soviet republics were abruptly plunged into poverty and international development agencies rushed to their aid.

Ethnographic data gathered through interviews and observation with employees and volunteers in local NGOs provides further insight into what this has meant for activists in Kyrgyzstan who are striving for progressive social change"--
