商品描述

This handbook-style edited volume discusses historical, but predominantly current political, economic, and societal trends in Central Asia comprising Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. The five countries exhibit many cultural and historical commonalities and face similar internal and external challenges. Despite different transformation paths and frequent intra-regional tensions, a common regional identity has emerged in the countries since gaining their independence in 1991. Besides covering their political systems, a variety of topics such as human rights, media, terrorism, and civil society are addressed. As well, bilateral relations with seven external actors are examined. Lastly, the authors explore the opportunities and limitations of institutionalized regional cooperation in various fields of action.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本手冊式的編輯專著探討了中亞地區的歷史,但主要聚焦於當前的政治、經濟和社會趨勢,涵蓋哈薩克斯坦、烏茲別克斯坦、吉爾吉斯斯坦、塔吉克斯坦和土庫曼斯坦。這五個國家展現出許多文化和歷史上的共通性,並面臨相似的內部和外部挑戰。儘管轉型路徑不同且區域內部經常出現緊張局勢,自1991年獨立以來,這些國家已經形成了共同的區域身份。除了涵蓋它們的政治體系外,還討論了人權、媒體、恐怖主義和公民社會等多樣主題。此外,還檢視了與七個外部行為者的雙邊關係。最後,作者探討了在各個行動領域中制度化區域合作的機會與限制。
