Central Asia is a relatively understudied neighbor of Afghanistan.
The region is often placed into a number of historical and
political contexts-a section of the Silk Road, a pawn in the "Great
Game," the "spillover" state that exemplifies the failure of US
foreign policy-that limit scholarly understanding. This edited
volume contributes by providing a broad, long-term analysis of the
Central Asia-Afghanistan relationship over the last several
decades. It addresses the legacy of Soviet intervention with a
unique first-hand selection of interviews of former Soviet Central
Asian soldiers that fought in the Soviet-Afghan War. It examines
Afghanistan's norther neighbors, discussing Russia, Uzbekistan,
Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan-their strategy for Afghanistan, their
perception of challenges and opportunities of the country, and
patterns of cooperation and conflict. The collection also looks at
recent US strategic initiatives in the region, in particular the
New Silk Road Initiative that envisions a growing Central
Asia-South Asia connection.
