The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Central Asia offers the first
comprehensive, cross-disciplinary overview of key issues in Central Asian studies. The
30 chapters by leading and emerging scholars summarise major findings in the field and
highlight long-term trends, recent observations and future developments in the region.
The handbook features case studies of all five Central Asian republics and is organised
thematically in seven sections:
History
Politics
Geography
International Relations
Political Economy
Society and Culture
Religion
An essential cross-disciplinary reference work, the handbook offers an accessible and
easy-to-understand guide to the core issues permeating the region to enable readers to
grasp the fundamental challenges, transformations and themes in contemporary Central
Asia. It will be of interest to researchers, academics and students of the region and
those working in the field of Area Studies, History, Anthropology, Politics and
International Relations.
