This presentation will describe the unique history and economic development of Central Asia as defined by its landlocked geography. Particular attention is paid to the achievements and challenges of the post-Soviet economic and political transformation of the region, as well as its relationship with the participants in the New Great Game 鈥� Russia, China and the West 鈥� all competing for influence in Central Asia. The presentation contends that, located as it is in the geographical centre of booming Asia, and with the opportunity to become a key logistics bridge connecting the world鈥檚 largest economies, the region is well placed for rapid development. However, at the same time, Central Asian countries face a range of complex problems. In the 21st century, the Eurasian powers that encircle Central Asia look certain to become the engines of global economic growth. But how will this affect Central Asia itself? Will the region join the powerful locomotive of history, or will it remain on the sidelines?
