The New Central Asia by Olivier Roy
Examining the political development of Central Asia, this book argues that Soviet practice had always been to build on local institutions and promote a local elite making it decentralized. It also contains an analysis of the Central Asian states - Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kirghizstan and Azerbaijan.
"'The best survey of Central Asia available to the non-specialist' - Survival 'An important book.. required reading for all those with a serious interest in the history and politics of Central Asia' - Asian Affairs 'Lively and well written' - Journal of Islamic Studies"
