Most books on the Caucasus and Central Asia are country-by-country studies. This book, on the other hand, fills a gap in Central Eurasian studies as one of the few comparative case study books on Central Eurasia, covering both the Caucasus and Central Asia; it considers key themes right across the two regions highlighting both political change and continuity. Comparative case study chapters, written by regional experts from a variety of methodological backgrounds, provide historical context, and evaluate Soviet political legacies and emerging policy outcomes.The key topics include: the varied types and sources of authoritarianism; political opposition and protest politics; predetermined outcomes of post-Soviet economic choices; social and stability impacts of natural resource wealth; variations in educational reform; and, international norm influence on gender policy and the power of human rights activists. Overall, the book provides a thorough, up-to-date overview of what is increasingly becoming a significant area of concern.

La révélation a été terrible pour les opinions publiques d'Europe occidentale qui n'avaient pas mesuré l'importance du phénomène, ni prévu sa capacité à introduire le déséquilibre et la terreur dans le jeu des relations internationales : il existe, au centre de l'Asie, aux marges de ce que fut l'Empire soviétique, une zone à haut risque, dont l'Afghanistan n'est pas le seul représentant. Mais qui connaît réellement l'état politique et social, et l'évolution traversée depuis plus de dix ans, c'est-à-dire depuis leur indépendance, par les cinq Républiques du Kazakhstan, du Kirghizstan, du Turkménistan, de l'Ouzbékistan et du Tadjikistan ? Leur identité, forgée depuis plus d'un siècle dans la résistance à la domination russe, réactivée par la lutte contre l'idéologie communiste, est faite à la fois de traditions culturelles et religieuses singulières, et d'appartenances ethniques et claniques. Un paysage très difficile à appréhender pour l'observateur occidental. Cet ouvrage se veut une tentative d'explication des enjeux auxquels se trouvent confrontés ces États surgis d'un coup, depuis les attentats du 11 septembre et la guerre d'Afghanistan, au premier plan des interrogations et des inquiétudes de ce début du 21e siècle.
