The societies of Central Asia are besieged from within and without.
The political elites -- virtually unchanged despite the transition
to independent statehood -- battle radical Islamic movements and
other oppositional threats that are continuously fueled by economic
instability, corruption, environmental deterioration, and the
collapse of social services. The heightened U.S. presence in the
area, in connection with the military action in Afghanistan, is
likely to unsettle the situation further, even while bolstering the
incumbent regime.
This survey of political, economic, and social developments in
Central Asia offers geopolitical context, unparalleled coverage,
and analytical depth to our understanding of a region that can no
longer be safely ignored.
