"Durant plus d'un millénaire, après l'âge des grands empires de l'Antiquité, les guerriers nomades de Haute-Asie ont rythmé la vie des peuples d'Eurasie et du Moyen-Orient. Les épopées de ces cavaliers-archers nés de la steppe, Huns, Mongols, Timourides, Turcs ou Khazars, emmenés par Attila, Gengis Khan et ses descendants, Tamerlan ou Babur, restent pourtant largement dominées par des images de violence et de désolation. Certes, pour ces hommes et femmes habitués à vivre dans des espaces rudes et immenses aux frontières incertaines, quoi de plus naturel que de vouloir s'emparer du bien du voisin le plus proche ou le plus faible? Le monde des sédentaires, tout à la fois riche et vulnérable, était l'objet de toutes les convoitises. Mais ces empires conquis et construits par les armes apportèrent aussi la paix, la prospérité, quelquefois même les arts et les sciences. C'est ce que montre Arnaud Blin dans ce livre fondé sur les plus récentes découvertes historiques et archéologiques, à travers un récit aussi passionnant qu'original."--

The influence of organized crime on governance and the rule of law in Central Asia has long been recognized, but its role in violence is less broadly understood. Looking at conflicts in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan, this report examines the ways that organized criminal actors exploit popular mobilization (such as protests) and weaken state controls in episodes of violence. Recommendations for governments, international agencies, and civil society groups draw from expert interviews and research to address the range of organized criminal motives and circumstances.

"This book focuses on the geopolitics of Central Asia which has emerged as the new fertile ground for oil and energy resources. It analyses the scramble for control over the region by many nations and their diplomatic manoeuvrings to ensure energy sufficiency and economic growth. The book provides a quantitative analysis of the Central Asian energy potential and offers an understanding of the unique position that each country occupies in the geopolitics of oil and energy in the region. It looks at aggressive foreign policies by countries like the US, China, the European Union, Japan, Israel, Iran, Pakistan and India, focusing primarily on India's position and strategies in the region within the new great game. The book further examines the dynamics between Central Asia and India and India's policies for geopolitical engagement and diversification of energy sources. This volume will be of interest to researchers and students of political studies, international relations, economics, sociology, and Asian studies. It will also be useful for policymakers and professionals working in the field of energy security and geo-economics"--
