Central Asia in the Post-Soviet Age
Number of pages:
11
ABSTRACT:
This 11 page report discusses the region and nation-states referred to as Central Asia. The five republics or nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan or the “Kyrgyz Republic,” Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan have unique cultural and ethnic heritages and are distinctly different from what is often lumped together as being simply “Russian.” There are three major challenges to these countries: national identity, economic viability, and relations with Russia and the nine million Russians living in the region. Each of the republics declared its independence in 1991.
Bibliography lists 8 sources.
