Full Description
This cutting-edge volume explores the multifaceted identity of a region that has been a melting pot for civilizations through the ages, and a key player in contemporary geopolitics.
The book's comprehensive approach offers a unique perspective that integrates cultural, historical, and geopolitical insights, providing readers with a deeper understanding of Central Asia's past, present, and its potential future on the global stage. Encompassing Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, this book provides an in-depth exploration of Central Asia's diverse cultural heritage, tracing its roots through Islamic, Turkic, Persian, and Russian influences. It examines the rich history of the region, from ancient trade routes like the Silk Road to the profound impacts of the Mongol Empire and Russian dominance. By analyzing trade routes like the Belt and Road Initiative as well as various regional security challenges, the book sheds light on the contemporary issues shaping the region.
Central Asia's historical significance, cultural diversity, and geopolitical relevance make it a rich field of study across multiple academic disciplines. It will therefore be of relevance to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of Central Asian studies, international relations, and globalization more broadly.
