CENTRAL ASIA A Gathering Storm?
|
Edited by
Boris Rumer , Harvard University
The societies of Central Asia are besieged from within and without. The political elites -- virtually unchanged despite the transition to independent statehood - battle radical Islamic movements and other oppositional threats , which are externally supported and internally fueled by economic instability , corruption , environmental deterioration , and the collapse of social services .
This survey of the political, economic, and social situation in Central Asia offers geopolitical context,, unparalleled coverage, and analytical depth to our understanding of a region that appear to be rapidly spiraling into crisis .
