Abstract:On December 2010, the first protests that occurred in Tunisia sparked the series of protests and demonstrations across the Middle East and North Africa has become known as "the Arab Spring". With the success of the protests in Tunisia, a wave of unrest sparked by the Tunisian "Burning Man" struck Algeria, Jordan, Egypt, and Yemen, then spread to other countries.

This paper hereby answers a question of why the upheavals just like "the Arab Spring" did not break out in Central Asia.
