This book examines how the tensions relating to the reorganization of external military presence interact with regional states\u2019 ambitions and challenge the borders already contested by numerous dividing lines. It studies a complex political landscape across which radical Islam connected with international terrorism is feared to spread as the international mission initiated in the wake of the 9\/11 attacks winds down.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Western military presence wanes in Afghanistan a transformed security environment challenges borders and stability in Central Asia. In this region former Soviet republics seek to consolidate their position by extending their control over politically problematic borderlands, setting up borders in areas where livelihood connections and transborder communities belie such bounding, and by seeking to maximize the independence of their foreign policies in relation to the integration processes led by Russia. This collection examines how the geopolitical tensions relating to the reorganization of external military presence and the opportunities to gain resources from the region-wide economic cooperation initiated with \u201cnew Silk Roads\u201d ideas interact with regional states\u2019 policies and actions. It explains how state borders are challenged by the practices of both non-state agencies and groups of people as well as the policies of extra-regional powers to pursue spaces for defense, resources and influence. Applying pragmatist insights, the contributions discuss the complexity of borders in the region and argue that the predominant role of the state border in all discourse and policies on borders eclipses other border-making practices, and that this limitation of perspectives deepens the security problems in the region\u2019s troubled border spaces.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.budrich.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/9783847407898_iv.pdf\">View Table of Contents<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The editor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Helena Ryt\u00f6vuori-Apunen,<\/strong><br \/>\nDoctor of Social Sciences, University Research Fellow, Adjunct Professor, Tampere Peace Research Institute TAPRI, University of Tampere, Finland<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Download for free: <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.budrich.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/0789-ryt\u00f6vuori-apunen.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">publicity leaflet<\/a> (pdf).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Target groups: <\/strong>practitioners interested in Afghanistan and Central Asia, students and researchers in international relations, geopolitics, strategic studies, history, regional studies and border studies<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Central Asia, borders, international security<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subject area: <\/strong>Political Science<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open Access: This is an open access title which is free to download or can be bought as paperback.\/ Dies ist ein Open Access-Titel, den Sie kostenlos herunterladen oder als Printausgabe bestellen k\u00f6nnen. &nbsp; Western military presence wanes in Afghanistan and a transformed security environment challenges borders and stability in Central Asia.
