While security concerns have assumed salience across the globe,
Afghanistan's proximity to Central Asia has meant that security or
perceptions of insecurity dominate the strategic discourse in the
region. Issues that stand out include the challenges that the
Central Asian states will face in terms of stability, ethnic
tensions, radicalization of youth, destabilization of commodity
flows and energy security and the impact that these could have on
Central Asian society. However, security cannot just be defined in
terms of security at the borders. It needs to be defined in
'cosmopolitan' terms through an array of issues like movements
across borders, radicalism within states, the sharing of water, and
various multilateral attempts at combating insecurity. This volume
is an attempt to focus on some of these issues that reflect on
perceptions of security principally from Indian and Uzbek
positions. It examines shifts over the last two decades, from
debates on the geopolitical importance of the region from a great
game perspective to the salience of new engagements within the
international arena.
