Description

Kazakhstan, Kirgystan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have all become independent states in central Asia, following the break-up of the USSR.

All have Muslim majorities and ancient histories, but are otherwise very different.

This book provides an introduction to the region. Rashid gives a history of each country, including its incorporation into Tsarist Russia to the present day.

He provides basic socio-economic information and explains the diverse political situations.

He focuses primarily on the underlying issues confronting these societies: the legacy of Soviet rule; ethnic tensions; the position of women; the future of Islam; the question of nuclear proliferation; and the fundamental choices over economic strategy, political system and external orientation which lie ahead.
