Central Asia
Routledge India (Verlag)
9781041036296 (ISBN)
The book looks at the relations between the Central Asian states and major external powers and shows how it has kept away from the so-called New Great Game. It evaluates the roles of major powers such as Russia, the United States, China, Iran and Turkey, as well as India and its ‘Silk Road’ strategy. It also compares the regional geopolitics of Central Asia with its neighbour Caucasus. The author highlights how, despite limited interstate cooperation, the region has balanced foreign powers and has largely prevented conflicts, thereby enjoying greater strategic autonomy in dealing with other countries. This new revised edition with additional chapters explores new developments, the Russia–Ukraine war and the future of Central Asian geopolitics.
The book will benefit scholars and researchers of international relations, political and strategic studies, area studies and Central Asian studies.
