| Summary/Abstract |
The Republic of Belarus occupies the western periphery of geopolitical Eurasia, by which I mean the post-Soviet space, and is fairly far removed from Central Asia. This distance, however, does not mean that Belarus is safely protected from the security threats emanating from the Central Asian region, and, on the whole, Inner Eurasia. The Belarusian expert community is not indifferent to these problems. Belarus has preserved its military and strategic importance for Russia within the categories of European confrontation of the previous period. Today, it is consistently and actively involved in military integration within the CSTO. The armed forces of Russia and Belarus are tied together by the so-called coalition approach. Civilian and military experts of the Republic of Belarus are studying the hypothetical possibility of its involvement, at the technical level, in the Collective Rapid Reaction Force of the CSTO if and when NATO pullout of Afghanistan sends waves of instability across Central Asia.

| Summary/Abstract |
As the NATO withdrawal proceeds in Afghanistan, both the Alliance and key members will encourage Central Asian states to assume more responsibility for providing their own security. But such a task is enormous for most Central Asian governments. Thus, they fear that they might be abandoned to Moscow, if not Beijing, or left on their own to face what they believe to be a mounting terrorist threat. This article examines the already visible military and strategic rivalry between Moscow and Washington for hegemony in Central Asia—mainly through support for weapon transfers, basing rights, and regional integration mechanisms in the security field.

| Summary/Abstract |
CENTRAL ASIA has a rich history. At one time, it boasted the Great Silk Road, a major trade route between Europe and China. It was also an arena where Chinese, Mongolian, Persian, Turkish, and Arabian military commanders led their armies in brutal battles, prosperous towns were built and destroyed, and huge empires appeared and disappeared. So researchers have examined this region in the most diverse geographical configurations.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Central Asia became an independent geopolitical entity comprised of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. This concept became firmly ensconced in Russia (although during Soviet times, the region was defined as the Central Asian republics and Kazakhstan) and is adhered to by most experts in the West and the East. The OSCE also understands Central Asia as precisely these five former Soviet republics. There are also such projects as the "EU and Central Asia: Strategy for a New Partnership" and the "Central Asia plus Japan" which are aimed at developing relations with the region's states.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Organization provides an effective format for active joint efforts in countering drug trafficking, illegal migration, organized crime, and other outstanding problems. Effective mechanisms have been created to coordinate national efforts - e.g., CSTO auxiliary bodies comprising the heads of relevant national agencies, coordination councils on countering drug trafficking, illegal migration and emergency situations, as well as working groups of experts as part of the Security Council Secretaries Committee on matters of IT and security policy, and the fight against terrorism and extremism.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE COMMONWEALTH of Independent States (CIS), a surprise substitute for the former Soviet Union that was born at the 1991 Belaya Vezha meeting of the then leaders of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine but had its important details poorly thought out by them, right from its inception has had great difficulties to struggle with to survive as a strategic union of countries. The CIS was effectively the product of a serious crisis that culminated in the collapse of the Soviet Union, and it still embodies less-than-stable development processes in the vast expanse of Eurasia.

RESTORING THE DEEDS of historical personalities on the basis of a vast body of archival materials is like rebuilding churches and monasteries ruined by alien ideas and base passions. The outlines of the impressive building that fell victim to the wickedness of those who planted base feelings and stirred up base passions in our people are gradually coming through. Blinded by false ideals people revenged their hopeless misery on architectural masterpieces built to inspire.

| Summary/Abstract |
On June 5, 2016, a group of armed militants attacked National Guard weapons depots and barracks in the city of Aktobe, north-western Kazakhstan, some 253 kilometers from Russia's Orenburg. Several dozen people, including the attackers, died in the clash. Siloviki, a term commonly used in post-Soviet countries for security and law enforcement agencies, did not hide their perplexity over what had happened, and foreign observers commented that the situation in Kazakhstan, long seen as a model of stability among the southernmost former Soviet republics, might deteriorate sharply. These events highlight the need for a discussion on broad international cooperation to ensure regional stability, create new institutional formats, and foster collaboration among CSTO and SCO structures.

Long consigned to the background of the international arena, Central Asia has been a testing ground for such sensational concepts as "a clash of civilizations," a "Big Game," etc. I believe such ideas have become morally and historically obsolete.

| Summary/Abstract |
The European Union as a whole is not the key player in managing the crisis, getting a peace process off the ground, or pursuing negotiations with Russia. Rather, a coalition of individual member states drives the negotiation process. Thus far, the only exception to this rule has been the energy sector, where the EU Commission played a key role in mediating between Ukraine and Russia for this winter's gas supply. This was, however, mainly due to the efforts of former EU Commissioner for Energy Günther Oettinger.

| Summary/Abstract |
Mankind has always been concerned about security and safety, whether it is the security of the individual, family, clan, tribe, region, nation, or the globe. So security has always remained the prime concerned of any state. After theCold World War the international interdependence has forced the states to readjust their foreign policies in multilateral context. The cooperation now has become more necessary and institutionalised. Multilateral regimes also tend to strengthen regional cooperation to play a more meaningful and proactive role in global processes.

| Summary/Abstract |
Comparing the influence of and relationship of Central Asia with the major regional bodies, the SCO is an advantageous organization for the economic development of Central Asia, since it is an opportune podium for doing business, especially with China, with a guarantee that Moscow nor Beijing will take a dominating stance against them. Due to a lack of armed forces among CSTO allies, Russia delivers the majority of the troops assigned under the banner of the CSTO. However, this also means that the Kremlin — in return for its security umbrella — demands a certain degree of political influence on the Central Asian member states of the CSTO. The less Central Asian countries are depending on Russia for political, economic/energy, or security reasons, the more they can pursue their national interests.
