Central Asia and Xinjiang - the far north-western province of China
- are of increasing international importance. The United States,
having established military bases in Central Asia after September
2001, has now become a force in what was previously predominantly a
Russian sphere of influence; whilst China, Russia and Iran all
continue to exert strong influence. These external, international
influences have had a significant impact on local politics, with
the overthrow of a long-standing regime in Kyrgyzstan, continued
unrest and opposition to the current regime in Uzbekistan and the
intensification of Chinese control in Xinjiang. This book explores
the effect of global and local dynamics across the region: global
influences include the 'War on Terror' and international
competition for energy resources; local dynamics include Islamic
revival, Central Asian nationalism, drugs trafficking; economic
development and integration. The authors argue that these multiple
challenges, in fact, unite Xinjiang and Central Asia in a common
struggle for identities and economic development. This book
provides a comprehensive overview of the region's historical
significance, the contemporary international forces which affect
the region, and of current political, economic and cultural
developments.
