Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many familiar travel destinations across the world that inspire would-be adventurers and tourists. The great region of Central Asia, Russia and the Caucasus had been crisscrossed for centuries by ancient civilisations long before any modern travellers set foot in Samarkand. Most of the so-called 'great civilisations' of the eastern world invaded, plundered, ravaged and conquered much of the region. Colonial powers can be added to this 'rich' tapestry of history. It may not have been 'glorious' but it certainly has left a legacy of sights for travellers to discover. The greater region of Central Asia, Russia and the Caucasus hosts great swathes of grasslands, desert or arid bush, with a mix of mountain ranges. The population is a vast melting pot of people, encompassing Azeri, Armenian, Georgian, Russian, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Tajik, Mongolian, Afghan and some Chinese. The Caucasus cling to a more European culture, with superb scenery, cultural attractions and a mix of peoples, who unfortunately have still to recover from the arbitrary borders imposed by the Soviet Union. The recent war between Azerbaijan and Armenia is a sad testament to this historic conundrum. Russia is a surprising country, especially well away from the more developed hinterlands of Moscow. Few visitors get to places like Saratov, Voronezh or Belgorod, which for those that do makes it all the more intriguing. That Russia is a powerful world player is not in doubt, but all is not as it seems. The roads are a challenge, to say the least, but it is a vast country in which to build the infrastructure. The Central Asian countries are not a seamless collection of domains. There are glaring economic differences between the countries. Oil-rich Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan have forged ahead in some respects, but Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have fabulous scenic and cultural wonders to draw in the crowds. Mongolia is perhaps the odd man out in this ensemble, but attracts adventurous travellers and mountain climbers. Afghanistan is included in Central Asia and has more than made its impact on the region; it still does, as the tragic events in Kabul of August 2021 have illustrated so vividly across the world. Like most of Asia, the region is evolving fast as the people have an insatiable desire for the modern. Much of the region is on the cusp of rapid modernisation, with burgeoning economies and innovation. This book is divided into the countries of the region excluding perhaps in future the most important influence on the region - China. Some of the images date back to the 1980s, an era of great adventure; others are more recent. Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus may not be under the travellers' spotlight quite like other parts of the world, but being generally less explored the region holds an engrossing fascination for the curious.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from All the Russias: Travels and Studies in Contemporary European Russia, Finland, Siberia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia This volume is the outcome of fifteen years' interest in Russian affairs, culminating in four journeys - one of nearly 20,000 miles - in European and Asiatic Russia. In the course of these, besides a residence of some time in St. Petersburg and visits to the principal cities, I travelled in Finland, in Siberia as far as Lake Baikal (I had previously been to Vladivostok), in the Caucasus, and in Central Asia as far as the frontier of Kashgar. During all these journeys I was afforded opportunities of seeing and investigating every matter that interested me, and of making the acquaintance of the chief Russian administrators in every part. Indeed, official courtesy went so far as to convey me, by a special train and a special steamer, to places I could not otherwise have seen, and to provide for my safety on another occasion by an escort of Cossacks. In case the reader may wonder how, without a mastery of the Russian language, I held the conversations and made the inquiries here described, I may say that during my chief journeys I took with me as interpreter a young Russian gentleman, a student of law at the University of Moscow, whose knowledge and intelligent sympathy were of the greatest service to me. Without such help, or the ability to speak Russian fluently, a journey for any serious purpose in Russia outside the two capitals would be a waste of time.

Book excerpt: The jagged peaks of the Caucasus Mountains have hosted a rich history of diverse nations, valuable trade, and incessant warfare. But today the region is best known for atrocities in Chechnya and the 2008 war between Russia and Georgia. In Let Our Fame Be Great, journalist and Russian expert Oliver Bullough explores the fascinating cultural crossroads of the Caucasus, where Europe, Asia, and the Middle East intersect. Traveling through its history, Bullough tracks down the nations dispersed by the region's last two hundred years of brutal warfare. Filled with a compelling mix of archival research and oral history, Let Our Fame Be Great recounts the tenacious survival of peoples who have been relentlessly invaded and persecuted and yet woefully overlooked.

Download or read book Challenges and Options in the Caucasus and Central Asia written by Pavel Baev and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That Russia has vital strategic interests in the Caucasus and Central Asia can be taken as an established political fact. What is remarkable about this fact is that the nature of these interests as well as the nature and intensity of challenges to them have changed quite drastically during Russia's 5 years of existence as a post-Soviet state. It is no wonder that Russian policymakers are permanently agonizing over reassessment of these interests and are now nowhere close to producing a coherent strategy of their advancement. This monograph will argue that Russia's ability to meet the challenges from the South is a major factor in determining its future as a world power.1 There is no doubt that the Caucasus and Central Asia are two separate regions in the turbulent post-Soviet geopolitical space, with different political dynamics and plenty of internal diversities and conflicts. Even looking from Moscow, it is obvious that these differences are of such a scale that no single integrated strategy could possibly embrace both regions; two essentially different policies are required and were, in fact, pursued. Still, the author attempts to take these two regions together, seeking to trace interplay among Russia's economic, political and strategic interests and to discover parallels in Moscow's past, current and possible future activities. This paper will first take a brief look at the evolution of Russia's policies in the Caucasus and Central Asia in 1992-94; then the impact of the Chechen War will be evaluated. This is followed by the analysis of the growth of the economic interests (first of all related to oil) and the increase in influence of the regional processes in Russia itself. Finally, an attempt to distinguish between the real and misperceived security challenges for the near future will be undertaken.

Download or read book Energy and Conflict in Central Asia and the Caucasus written by Robert Ebel and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2000-11-28 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely study is the first to examine the relationship between competition for energy resources and the propensity for conflict in the Caspian region. Taking the discussion well beyond issues of pipeline politics and the significance of Caspian oil and gas to the global market, the book offers significant new findings concerning the impact of energy wealth on the political life and economies of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. The contributors, a leading group of scholars and policymakers, explore the differing interests of ruling elites, the political opposition, and minority ethnic and religious groups region-wide. Placing Caspian development in the broader international relations context, the book assesses the ways in which Russia, China, Iran, and Turkey are fighting to protect their interests in the newly independent states and how competition for production contracts and pipeline routes influences regional security. Specific chapters also link regional issues to central questions of international politics and to theoretical debates over the role of energy wealth in political and economic development worldwide. Woven throughout the implications for U.S. policy, giving the book wide appeal to policymakers, corporate executives, energy analysts, and scholars alike.
