| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines the shift in the balance of power in Central Asia in
the context of the United States’ declining global hegemonic power. The
authors analyze the hegemonic struggle between China, Russia, and the
U.S. in Central Asia and its influence on the middle power formation in this
region. The authors argue that although Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have
high economic potentials, by certain criteria they have not achieved the
status of middle powers yet. “Middlepowermanship dilemma” is formulated
to explain why a hegemonic order has not been established in Central Asia
and why middle powers have not emerged in the region. |
