For better or worse, the former Soviet republics of Central Asia have largely completed their post-independence transitions. Over more than a decade, they have established themselves as independent states whose internal regimes and external relations have characteristic patterns and vulnerabilities both individually and as a group. The purpose of this volume is to assess both what has been accomplished and the trends of development in the region, especially its leading states. How sound are the foundations of this "bulwark against the spread of terrorism" in Eurasia?

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This systematic analysis of the latest developments and trends in Central Asia assembles scholars from the United States, Russia, China, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, under the expert direction of Boris Rumer. With the evolving geopolitical situation as a background, they provide perceptive and reality-based appraisals of a host of key issues in the region, including: the influence of the Islamic factor; the deterioration of domestic political situations generated by the character of the ruling regimes; the dynamics and structural asymmetry of regional economies due to hypertrophy of the raw materials sector; and the deficiencies and failures of institutional reform in the social and economic spheres. In today's world, as centuries-old norms of political and economic order are being destroyed, we need to think carefully about the essential questions of politics, economics, and public life in the states examined here, independent only since the 1990s and now proclaimed the "bulwark against terrorism." The former Soviet republics of Central Asia have largely completed their post-independence transitions. The purpose of this volume is to assess what has been accomplished, the trends of development in the region, especially its leading states and how sound are the foundations of this "bulwark against the spread of terrorism" in Eurasia?
