The international implications are enormous because of the rich energy sources--oil and natural gas--located in the Caspian Sea area. The authors assess a variety of internal security policy challenges confronting these states--for example, the potential for conflict arising from such factors as a mixed ethnic population, resource scarcity, particularly in relation to water management, and an Islamic revival. They also examine the security policy content of relations between the Central Asian states and regional and international powers--specifically the stakes, interests, and policies of Russia, China, Iran, Turkey, and the United States. These internal challenges and the evolution of relations with external powers may result in new cooperative relationships, but they may also lead to destabilizing rivalry and interstate enmity in Central Asia. It is important to identify new patterns of relevance for future security cooperation in the region, but the potential for a new security system or for new institutions to manage security in the region remains uncertain. These issues are explored by a team of prominent specialists from Western Europe, the United States, Russia and China. 606 $aNational security$zAsia, Central 607 $aAsia, Central$xForeign relations$y1991- 607 $aAsia, Central$xStrategic aspects 615 0$aNational security 676 $a327/.0958 701 $aAllison$b Roy$0700513 701 $aJonson$b Lena$f1948-$01723582 712 02$aUtrikespolitiska institutet (Sweden) 712 02$aRoyal Institute of International Affairs. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818829803321 996 $aCentral Asian security$94124967 997 $aUNINA
