Abstract

Over a decade after national independence, it is apparent that the contrasting development strategies adopted by the five new governments of Central Asia have led to significantly different outcomes. This well-written and timely book analyses how the development strategies of these countries have affected their transition from communist governance.

Abstract

L'Asie centrale, située au coeur du plus massif des continents, est souvent perçue comme un espace intermédiaire, un «bout du monde» écartelé entre les grandes puissances russe et chinoise. Pourtant, depuis la chute du communisme et l'ouverture de la Chine au marché mondial, elle apparaît comme une région émergente et en pleine mutation. Pour la première fois, un ouvrage propose d'étudier l'Asie centrale comme une entité à part entière à partir d'un cadre régional inédit, de la mer Caspienne à l'Ouest chinois, soit un continuum géographique regroupant les cinq républiques post-soviétiques (Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Ouzbékistan, Tadjikistan et Turkménistan) et la Région autonome ouïgoure du Xinjiang. Construit sur une approche thématique, il aborde les dimensions culturelle, géohistorique, environnementale et socio-économique des territoires et des sociétés. La première partie vient interroger l'identité de l'Asie centrale (cultures, religions, recompositions territoriales et défis du développement). La deuxième partie aborde les questions environnementales (contexte physique et mise en valeur des milieux, crises écologiques et désertification). La dernière partie fait le point sur les dynamiques démographiques et leurs conséquences spatiales à l'égard d'espaces urbains et ruraux en pleine évolution. Des analyses à différentes échelles spatiales et une abondante cartographie originale permettent de saisir l'émergence d'une aire géographique méconnue confrontée aux défis du développement et de la mondialisation.

Abstract

Since the start of the 1990's, Central Asia has been the main purveyor of migrants in the post-Soviet space. These massive migrations due to social upheavals over the last twenty years impact issues of governance; patterns of social adaptation; individual and collective identities; and gender relations in Central Asia. This volume raises the importance of internal migrations, those at a regional, intra-Central Asian, level, labor migrations to Russia, and carries us as far away to the Uzbek migrants based in Istanbul, New York, or Seoul, as well as to the young women of Tashkent who head to Germany or France, and to the Germans, Greeks, and Jews of Central Asia who have returned to their “ethnic homelands”. Contributors include Aida Aaly Alimbaeva, Stéphanie Belouin, Adeline Braux, Asel Dolotkeldieva, Olivier Ferrando, Sophie Hohmann, Nafisa Khusenova, Erica Marat, Sophie Massot, Saodat Olimova, Sébastien Peyrouse, Luisa Piart, Madeleine Reeves, Elena Sadovskaya.

Abstract

This issue discusses economic developments in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (MENAP), which continue to reflect the diversity of conditions prevailing across the region. Most high-income oil exporters, primarily in the GCC, continue to record steady growth and solid economic and financial fundamentals, albeit with medium-term challenges that need to be addressed. In contrast, other countries—Iraq, Libya, and Syria—are mired in conflicts with not only humanitarian but also economic consequences. And yet other countries, mostly oil importers, are making continued but uneven progress in advancing their economic agendas, often in tandem with political transitions and amidst difficult social conditions. In most of these countries, without extensive economic and structural reforms, economic prospects for the medium term remain insufficient to reduce high unemployment and improve living standards.
