商品簡介
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the emergence of the five independent Central Asian states as a separate geopolitical space, China has sought to recreate a traditional vassal relationship between itself and those states through investments, trade, and military cooperation, argues Das (a doctoral research scholar at the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru U., India), who explores the nature of the contemporary Sino-Central Asian relations. He examines historical relations; current political, economic, and security cooperation relations; and domestic political and economic issues in Central Asia and China that influence current relations and likely future directions.
