The Silk Road was the contemporary name for a complex of ancient trade routes linking East Asia with Central Asia, South Asia, and the Mediterranean world. This network of exchange emerged along the borders between agricultural China and the steppe nomads during the Han Dynasty (206BCE-220CE), in consequence of the inter-dependence and the conflicts of these two distinctive societies. In their quest for horses, fragrances, spices, gems, glassware, and other exotics from the lands to their west, the Han Empire extended its dominion over the oases around the Takla Makan Desert and sent silk all

"A vast region stretching roughly from the Volga River to Manchuria and the northern Chinese borderlands, Central Asia has been called the "pivot of history, " a land where nomadic invaders and Silk Road traders changed the destinies of states that ringed its borders, including pre-modern Europe, the Middle East, and China. In Central Asia in World History, Peter B. Golden provides an engaging account of this important region, ranging from prehistory to the present, and focusing largely on the unique melting pot of cultures that this region has produced. Golden describes the traders who braved the heat and cold along caravan routes to link East Asia and Europe; the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan and his successors, the largest contiguous land empire in history; the invention of gunpowder, which allowed the great sedentary empires to overcome the horse-based nomads; the power struggles of Russia and China, and later Russia and Britain, for control of the area. Finally, he discusses the region today, a key area that neighbors such geopolitical hot spots as Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and China"--Provided by publisher. "This work traces the history of the nomadic steppe tribes and sedentary inhabitants of the oasis city-states of Central Asia from pre-history to the present. Particular focus is placed on the unique melting pot cultures that this region has produced over millennia"--Provided by publisher.

L'Asie centrale, située au coeur du plus massif des continents, est souvent perçue comme un espace intermédiaire, un «bout du monde» écartelé entre les grandes puissances russe et chinoise. Pourtant, depuis la chute du communisme et l'ouverture de la Chine au marché mondial, elle apparaît comme une région émergente et en pleine mutation. Pour la première fois, un ouvrage propose d'étudier l'Asie centrale comme une entité à part entière à partir d'un cadre régional inédit, de la mer Caspienne à l'Ouest chinois, soit un continuum géographique regroupant les cinq républiques post-soviétiques (Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Ouzbékistan, Tadjikistan et Turkménistan) et la Région autonome ouïgoure du Xinjiang. Construit sur une approche thématique, il aborde les dimensions culturelle, géohistorique, environnementale et socio-économique des territoires et des sociétés. La première partie vient interroger l'identité de l'Asie centrale (cultures, religions, recompositions territoriales et défis du développement). La deuxième partie aborde les questions environnementales (contexte physique et mise en valeur des milieux, crises écologiques et désertification). La dernière partie fait le point sur les dynamiques démographiques et leurs conséquences spatiales à l'égard d'espaces urbains et ruraux en pleine évolution. Des analyses à différentes échelles spatiales et une abondante cartographie originale permettent de saisir l'émergence d'une aire géographique méconnue confrontée aux défis du développement et de la mondialisation.

Les marchands sogdiens n'ont pas seulement contribué à l?importation de la soie chinoise en Occident ; ils ont aussi, à l'instar d'autres peuples centrasiatiques, comme les Ouighours ou les Tokhariens, participé à la reformulation du canon bouddhique avant son adoption par les Chinois. Les descendants de Gengis Khan n'ont pas seulement adopté la langue turque ; ils sont aussi passés au persan et ont établi la culture persane dans l'Inde du nord. Les Grecs nourris d'Aristote n'ont pas seulement rencontré à Aï Khanoum, dans l'actuel Afghanistan, les peuples de la steppe ; ils ont aussi laissé des traces dans les textes zoroastriens de la Perse. Les cinéastes russes réfugiés à Tachkent dans les années 1940 n'ont pas seulement apporté à l'Ouzbékistan des techniques nouvelles ; ils ont enrichi le cinéma soviétique de motifs centrasiatiques? La Route de la soie, cette invention du XIXe siècle, nous invite à aborder l'histoire du monde sans préjugés européocentristes. L'Asie centrale : lieu mythique, creuset exceptionnel d'influences lointaines, où les religions, les moeurs, les arts et les techniques se sont trouvés inextricablement mêlés. Ses territoires recouvrent l?ensemble des anciennes républiques soviétiques centrasiatiques et les territoires avoisinants du Xinjiang, de la Mongolie, de l'Afghanistan, de l'Iran, de l'Azerbaïdjan et de la Turquie. Ils offrent tous une stratification extrêmement complexe de transferts culturels aussi bien synchroniques que diachroniques. Un voyage dans le temps, à la rencontre de peuples et de civilisations qui se sont illustrés par une production artistique d?une richesse inouïe. Et la première synthèse accessible en français sur cette aire culturelle qui a depuis des siècles fasciné voyageurs et savants.

Since the start of the 2000s, the People's Republic of China has become an increasingly important player on the Central Asian scene, both diplomatically and strategically, in particular through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. At the economic level, China has positioned itself among the largest traders and investors in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. This growing Chinese presence has drastically challenged the traditional influence of Russia and weakened that of the United States and Europe. The purpose of this book is to go beyond a geopolitical analysis by articulating an external influential factor, namely China, and changes in the domestic order in neighboring Central Asia. It engages in an analysis of the contemporary transformations that are occurring within the systems and societies of Central Asia. China has become a subject of public debate, academic and expert knowledge. New cultural mediators, petty traders, lobby groups, migrants, and diasporas, have also emerged. China's rise to power has worked as a catalyst compound of the anxieties and phobias associated with the major social transformations that have occurred in Central Asia over the last two decades. Sinophobia and Sinophilia are now closely associated.
