  • Natural Allies? Regional Security In Asia And Prospects For Indo-american Strategic Cooperation
    Stephen J. Blank / Stephen JBlank / Strategic Studies Institute

    Stephen J. Blank / Stephen JBlank / Strategic Studies Institute
    On December 21, 2006, President Sapirmurat Niyazov, Turkmenistan’s all-powerful leader suddenly died. His death led to a succession that was evidently dominated by the secret police whose nominee, Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, has established himself as president. Because Central Asia is a cockpit of great power rivalry and a potential theater in the Global War on Terrorism, no ...

  • U.S. Interests In Central Asia And The Challenges To Them
    Stephen J. Blank / Stephen JBlank / Strategic Studies Institute
    For the United States, Central Asia is a region of both growing importance and of growing challenge. Its proximity to Russia, China, Iran, India, and Pakistan;, location as the center of the Global War on Terrorism; and its large energy holdings make it a strategic region where the United States has important, some might even say vital, interests. Those interests pertain, first...
