Ethnic Challenges Beyond Borders: Chinese and Russian Perspectives of the Central Asian Conundrum

by Yongjin Zhang (Editor)

Essayists explore uncertain transformations in Central Asia and speculate on the possible outcome of the current search for a regional order. Issues addressed include the implications of the resurgence of Central Asia for China and Russia; how the Chinese and the Russian foreign policy elite have perceived political and economic transformations in newly independent Central Asian states; and appropriate policy responses to the ethnic challenges from Central Asia.
