Summary / Abstract (Note) | At the turn of the 21st century, the central Asian region gained recognition as a political geography (geopolitical), economic geography (geo-economic), and geostrategic unit on the world map. The reasons behind the recognition included not so much the similar nature and climate, or common history, or ethnic and religious components of the region's population as profound geopolitical , geo-economic, and geostrategic changes such as collapse of the Soviet Union, growing significance of the energy factor in international relations, rapid involvement of the former Soviet republics in the world politics, stationing of U S and NATO forces in the region, and a greater force claimed by other leading world agents(the European Union, China, India, and Japan, in the first place) |
