This book presents a study of Japanese involvement in post-Soviet
Central Asia since the independence of these countries in 1991,
examining the reasons for progress and stagnation in this
multi-lateral relationship. Featuring interviews with
decision-makers and experts from Japan, China, Kazakhstan,
Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and the Philippines, this book argues that
Japan's impact on Central Asia and its connectivity has been
underappreciated. It demonstrates that Japan's infrastructural
footprint in the New Silk Road significantly pre-dated China's Belt
and Road Initiative, and that the financial and policy contribution
driven by Japanese officials was of a similar order of magnitude.
It also goes on to show that Japan was the first major power
outside of post-Soviet Central Asia to articulate a dedicated Silk
Road diplomacy vis-a-vis the region before the United States and
China, and the first to sponsor pivotal assistance. Being the first
detailed analytical account of the diplomatic impact made on the
New Silk Road by various Japanese actors beyond formal diplomacy,
this book will be useful to students and scholars of Japanese
politics, as well as Asian politics and international politics more
generally.
