POLITICAL SCIENCE ON CENTRAL ASIA: 2012-2013
Keywords:
Central Asia, political science, historiography, geopolitics, Islam, security, migration.Abstract
The interest of political science in Central Asia has not subsided: the academic community is paying close attention to the ways new national identities are being shaped in individual countries and to the geopolitical processes underway in the region as a whole, as well as to the results being presented in academic periodicals and exhaustive fundamental publications. Political scientists have noticed that despite certain common features, the local political regimes differ greatly from country to country. All the Central Asian states, those bordering on Afghanistan in particular, are very concerned about the rapidly approaching American pullout and the country’s possible destabilization.
