ABSTRACT

The regions of Central Asia have each acquired an elevated strategic importance in the new security paradigm of the U. S military into post-September 1lth. The U.S. military presence in the region began before September 11th, the region became an important platform for the projection of U.S. military power against the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan. But regions of Central Asia face more fundamental internal challenges, ranging from an overall deficit of democracy, and the related predominance of “strongmen over statesmen,” to economic mismanagement and widespread corruption post-September 1lth. The report offers an insightful pre-September 11 look at the strategic imperatives driving the US engagement in these regions at that time. And the report also gives information that the US engagement in these ‘sensitive’ regions must ‘review to what degree we are creating an implied commitment to defend these governments against both internal and external threats to their security and independence’. Also the important fact that US forces must address these issues ‘regardless of the depth of their commitment to the region’ but that ‘the current situation, however, suggests that they may have to face them somewhat sooner than expected’. The Central Asian region also shares a landlocked dependency, both in terms of relying on an external guarantee of security as well as in terms of economics and energy export routes. This dependency, combined with the internal weakness of these states, contributes to the challenges facing a sustained US engagement in the region
