| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The academic community is aware of three hypostases of Central Asia-(1) a geographical region; (2) a political entity; and (3) a civilizational expanse-each with its own limits. As a geographical region, Central Asia is limited by "natural borders" (mountains, rivers, the steppe, and the sea); as a political entity, it is contained within the state borders of the new political units; and as a civilizational expanse, it is described as the local peoples' cultural and/or ethnolinguistic community, that is, by civilizational factors. |
