内容説明

This book focuses on the newly independent Muslim republics of the former Soviet Union in Central Asia, especially Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan. It examines the recent economic and political developments in these states with reference to the lingering legacy of Tsarist Russian and Soviet rule, the resurgence of an Islamic political identity, the persistence of ethnic allegiances and rivalries, and the nascent democratic aspirations of their peoples. A distinguishing feature of the book is its emphasis on the longstanding religious, ethnic and cultural ties between the peoples of Central Asia and those of the four Southwest Asian states of Afghanistian, Iran, Pakistan and Turkey. Viewing the new alliances, rivalries and potential conflicts among these states within a regional context, the authors provide an informed and incisive assessment of the geopolitics of a new world region with a population of over three hundred million people. The implications of these regional developments for the West are also set out. The contributors to the volume are experts on the region from several disciplines. The book should be of interest to those concerned with the future relations between this region, the Middle East and the West.
