Central Asia: Political & Economic Challenges

By Alexei Vassiliev

Based on first-hand research conducted by the Moscow Centre for Civilizational and Regional Studies, this book documents the findings of one of the first authoritative studies on the newly independent states of Central Asia--Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kirgizia, and Tadjikistan. Attention is also drawn to the causes and outcomes of the civil war in Tadjikistan as well as the growing international competition for access to the natural resources of the Central Asian countries.
