Description and Table of Contents
Description
'...a highly topical book on an increasingly important area of the world. the editor has amassed a series of original and stimulating articles on various facets of Central Asia's political development, by American scholars as well as scholars from Russia and Central Asia.' - Choice Most political observers agree that the independent Central Asian states are destined to play very significant geopolitical roles. Their natural resources are already attracting considerable investment and one of the great mysteries of this decade is just how these large, little-known, potentially powerful countries will effect both their neighbours and the rest of the world. This fascinating collection of essays, by many of the leading experts in the field, provides a wealth of material on the region and will be an extremely valuable source for all those concerned with its study.
