The Domestic Developments and their Impact on Security Stability in Central Asia after 2001

Abstract

This research sheds light on the importance of domestic development in a remarkable geographical region of the world, which is Central Asia. Although it is a closed geographical area from the geographers’ perspective since it does not fall on any open sea, it is an important geopolitical and strategic area at the heart of the world and borders with many dominant and influential countries in the international world system. It is also an important link between Asia and Europe as well as an important link between the Middle East and Europe. Central Asia, despite the fact that it is a geopolitical area, is an important geo-economic region rich with natural resources and different minerals, and the countries are in the process of developing since their independences do not exceed three decades. In other words, Middle east countries have political and social instability and, despite their differences, they have a fragile economy.
