Offering a comprehensive overview of the security dynamics of an
under-analyzed region of the world - Central Asia and the South
Caucasus - this volume contains contributions from leading experts
who examine policies of the major players in the region including
Russia, China, India, Iran and Turkey. The volume incorporates
thematic chapters which detail economic and security analyses in
the post-September 11th era. It will appeal to both the academic
and reference audiences and to the broader scholarly market in the
disciplines of foreign policy, international security, Eurasian
studies, and peace and conflict studies.
"…A highly useful overview of security in that part of
Central Asia that formerly belonged to the USSR. No longer the
"back yard" of one or two countries, Central Asia emerges on these
pages as a significant concern of nearly a dozen important regional
and global powers…the chapters in this collection touch on a
variety of forces acting in and upon the region. Ariel Cohen is to
be commended for allowing these five Central Asian states to appear
in all their complexity."
