The Goals and Strategies of the Great Powers in Central Asia: The Realism of the United States
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 23
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to contribute to increase knowledge about a remote region of the world, but of utmost importance in the geopolitical and economic context of today: Central Asia. The central argument is that the great powers (the United States) demonstrate a predominantly economic interest (the search for energy resources) towards the region, pursuing fundamentally realistic-driven policies with regard to it.
