Book Description

Concept Pub. Co., 2007. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Linked by geography, climate and geo-cultural similarities for centuries, these two regions also share socio-cultural, religions, political and economic contacts that run deep. This collection of papers addresses the background of common concerns about international terrorism, religious extremism and drug trafficking. Many papers here are drawn partially from an international seminar held by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations and Astha Bharati, Delhi in March 2004 in New Delhi, while some have been published in special editions of journals. The 21 papers cover evidence of historical, cultural and religious links (such as Buddhist iconography), the state of politics and geopolitics and democracy in Central Asia from both outside and in, with due consideration of natural resources and possible extractive markets, Islamic radicalism in Central Asia, especially after the collapse of the USSR, and the complex issues of energy reserves, not the least of which is economic.
