"Following President George W. Bush's declaration of a 'War on Terrorism' and the subsequent ousting of the Taleban regime from power in Afghanistan, the strengths and policies of Central Asia's regimes have become matters of geopolitical significance. This collection assesses these policies against the backdrop of a Soviet legacy and the vigorous attempts of these countries to build secular states within the Islamic world."--BOOK JACKET.
