The political elites - virtually unchanged despite the transition to independent statehood - battle radical Islamic movements and other oppositional threats that are continuously fueled by economic instability, corruption, environmental deterioration, and the collapse of social services. This survey of political, economic, and social development in Central Asia offers geopolitical context, unparalleled coverage, and analytical depth to our understanding of a region that appears to be rapidly spiraling into crisis.National securityAsia, CentralIslam and politicsAsia, CentralAsia, CentralPolitics and government1991-Asia, CentralForeign relations1991-National securityIslam and politics320.958/09/049Rumer Boris Z676424MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965190603321Central Asia4474677UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
