Central Asia has become the battleground for the major struggles of
the 21st century: radical Islam versus secularism, authoritarianism
versus identity politics, Eastern versus Western control of
resources, and the American 'War on Terror'. Nowhere are these
conflicts more starkly illustrated than in the case of Tajikistan.
Embedded in the oil-rich Central Asian region, and bordering
war-torn Afghanistan, Tajikistan occupies a geo-strategically
pivotal position. It is also a major transit hub for the smuggling
of opium, which eventually ends up in the hands of heroin dealers
in Western cities. In this timely book, Lena Jonson examines
Tajkistan's search for a foreign policy in the post 9/11
environment. She shows the internal contradictions of a country in
every sense at the crossroads, reconciling its bloody past with an
uncertain future She assesses the impact of regional developments
on the reform movement in Tajikistan, and in turn examines how
changes in Tajik society (which is the only Central Asian country
to have a legal Islamist party) might affect the region. The
destiny of Tajikistan is intimately connected with that of Central
Asia, and this thorough and penetrating book is essential reading
for anyone seeking to make sense of this strategically vital region
at a moment of transition.
