China, The United States, and the Future of Central Asia

v. 1. description: The first of a three-volume series on the interaction of the US and China in different regions of the world, China, the United States, and the Future of Central Asia explores the delicate balance of competing foreign interests in this resource-rich and politically tumultuous region. Editor David Denoon and his internationally renowned set of contributors assess the different objectives and strategies the U.S. and China deploy in Central Asia and examine how the two world powers are indirectly competitive with one another for influence in the region.
