Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the activities of the Islamic Development Bank in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and the four other Muslim majority states of southern Eurasia, where the institution has been active, in a rather discreet but targeted way, in the fields of transport, energy and water infrastructure, finance and industrial development since about one and a half decades. Besides offering an analytical overview of the regional activities of this rather little known development institution, it discusses how it is de facto a channel and way-opener for investment form the Arab and more particularly the Arab Gulf sphere, and how its presence fits into a trend among southern Eurasian governments and economic elites to diversify sources of aid and investment.
