In the wake of Soviet disintegration, Central Asia became an idiom
for the ensuing confusion in the post-Cold War climate of
international affairs, characterized by inter-state order and
intra-state anarchy. Dynamic changes associated with the end of
communism, the 'revival' of ethnic, religious and clan mobilization
and the gradual involvement of various international actors, have
inspired extensive scholarly and policy engagement with the region.
Yet most analyses fail to bring Central Asia into the mainstream of
systematic interrogation. This timely volume analyzes the quality
of statehood in the region by assessing the complex dynamics of
Central Asian state-making and focusing on the simultaneous
patterns of socialization and internalization in the region. It
straddles four different bodies of literature and addresses the
systematic lacunae in all of them to investigate the localization
effects of Russia, China, the EU and NATO on forms of post-Soviet
statehood in Central Asia - placing Central Asia in the study and
practice of world politics.
