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.
