Central Asia remains on the periphery, both spatially and in
people's imaginations. When the region does attract international
attention, it is often related to security issues, including
terrorism, ethnic conflict and drug trafficking. This book brings
together leading specialists from a range of disciplines including
geography, anthropology, sociology and political science to discuss
how citizens and governments within Central Asia think about and
practise security. The authors explore how governments use fears of
instability to bolster their rule, and how securitized populations
cope with (and resist) being labelled threats through strategies
that are rarely associated with security, including marriage and
changing their appearance. This collection examines a wide range of
security issues including Islamic extremism, small arms,
interethnic relations and border regions. While coverage of the
region often departs from preconceived notions of the region as
dangerous, obscure and volatile, the chapters in this book all
place emphasis on the way local people understand security and
harmony in their daily lives. This book will be of interest to
students and researchers of Central Asian Studies as well as
Security Studies and Political Science. The chapters were
originally published in the journal Central Asian Survey.
