Living standards have fallen throughout the region, while the energy wealth envisioned in the mid-1990s never materialised. Most governments have grown more corrupt and less stable. Responsibility for this state of affairs rests partly on an exaggerated and misplaced view, particularly popular among influential Western analysts, that the region is a natural, or even desirable, setting for imperial conflict. This view has skewed the policies of local actors away from much needed cooperation with one another and with more powerful neighbours. The major powers with interests in Central Eurasia - particularly the US - need to re-examine their fundamental assumptions about the region and what they want from it. Until they do, neither peace nor development will be possible and conditions will only deteriorate."--Jacket. 72fast1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39Qhp4vB9Pg4rdgGV6J74f8Xm 7aSince 19002fast 0aNagorno-Karabakh Conflict, 1988-1994. 0aEthnic conflictzFergana Valley. 0aPolitical stabilityzAsia, Central. 0aSocial conflictzAsia, Central. 0aSocial conflictzCaucasus. 0aPolitical stabilityzCaucasus. 0aCivil warzAfghanistan. 0aGeopoliticszCaucasus. 0aGeopoliticszAsia, Central. 0aConflict managementzAsia, Central. 0aConflict managementzCaucasus. 0aIntervention (International law) 0aPetroleum industry and tradezAsia, Central. 0aPetroleum industry and tradezCaucasus. 6aConflit du Nagorno-Karabakh, 1988-1994. 7aPetroleum industry and trade2fast 7aIntervention (International law)2fast 7aGeopolitics2fast 7aConflict management2fast 7aCivil war2fast 7aEthnic conflict2fast 7aPolitics and government2fast 7aPolitical stability2fast 7aSocial conflict2fast 0aFergana ValleyxPolitics and governmenty20th century. 0aAfghanistanxPolitics and governmenty1973- 0aAfghanistanxPolitics and governmenty1989-2001. 0aAsia, CentralxStrategic aspects. 0aCaucasusxStrategic aspects. 0aAsia, CentralxHistoryy1991- 4aAsia, CentralxHistoryy1991- 4aAsia, CentralxStrategic aspects. 7aAsiazFergana Valley2fast1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtmqhbbxwQQGDfm4DcQMP 7aCaucasus2fast1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJvmQdDFKvWPC3kQ3WRdwC 7aAsia, CentralxPolitics and governmenty1991-2nli 7aCaucasusxPolitics and government.2nli 7aNagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan)xPolitics and government.2nli 7aCaucasusxForeign relations.2nli 7aNagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan)xForeign relations.2nli 7aFarghona (Uzbekistan)xForeign relations.2nli 7aAfghanistanxForeign relations.2nli 4aBook 7aHistory2fast2 aInternational Institute for Strategic Studies.  ihas work:aCentral Eurasia (Text)1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFYdyvRG7FQQCRdyBqwtJC4https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork 0aAdelphi papers ;vno. 338.413Table of contentsuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0636/2002277380-t.html423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0723/2002277380-b.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0702/2002277380-d.html
