520 1 $a"This book offers an expert analysis of current U.S.-Russian relations as they have played out in Central Asia in the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001." "The attacks of 9/11 brought the United States the sympathy of nations around the world. But America's aggressive response to those attacks alienated many allies and dialed up tensions with other countries with whom relationships were already problematic. This has been especially true in Russia and Central Asia, where pre- and post-Cold War rivalries and large Muslim populations contribute to suspicions about the United States." "A timely and important book, Rivalry in Eurasia looks at the increasingly stressful state of U.S.-Russian relations resulting from the prosecution of the War on Terror. At the same time, it explores positive and negative effects of the U.S.-Russian rivalry on the leadership in each of the five Central Asian republics: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan." "Comparative politics expert Minton F. Goldman begins by focusing on the key areas of contention between the United States and Russia in Central Asia. His illuminating text probes the effects of American efforts to enlist help in fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, of U.S. support for democratization, and of attempts by each side to exact control over the region's vast energy reserves. The book then turns to the republics themselves to show how the Russian-U.S. rivalry is playing out for each, examining, for example, Russian diplomatic tactics aimed at protecting its "backyard" against slow, but steady U.S. efforts to exert more influence in the region." "Many policy analysts believe Central Asia may be the next international flashpoint. This incisive book will help readers understand the forces at play in this volatile region."--BOOK JACKET.
