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.

Since the start of the 1990's, Central Asia has been the main purveyor of migrants in the post-Soviet space. These massive migrations due to social upheavals over the last twenty years impact issues of governance; patterns of social adaptation; individual and collective identities; and gender relations in Central Asia. This volume raises the importance of internal migrations, those at a regional, intra-Central Asian, level, labor migrations to Russia, and carries us as far away to the Uzbek migrants based in Istanbul, New York, or Seoul, as well as to the young women of Tashkent who head to Germany or France, and to the Germans, Greeks, and Jews of Central Asia who have returned to their “ethnic homelands”. Contributors include Aida Aaly Alimbaeva, Stéphanie Belouin, Adeline Braux, Asel Dolotkeldieva, Olivier Ferrando, Sophie Hohmann, Nafisa Khusenova, Erica Marat, Sophie Massot, Saodat Olimova, Sébastien Peyrouse, Luisa Piart, Madeleine Reeves, Elena Sadovskaya.

This anthology brings together studies of post-colonial, post-Cold War Central Eurasia. This part of the world is in transition from Soviet institutions to independent statehood, nation building, resistance against state expansion, cultural change and the release of market forces. The theoretical framework of the study is called 'critical geo-politics.' The objective of the work is to better comprehend the nature of the post-colonial 'Great Game'. Part I studies US power projection activity in the region. America is extending its World War II trans-oceanic 'defense perimeter into the fossile fuel rich area between integrating Europe, recovering Russia and industrializing China. Part II details various aspects of state-nation building and soci-cultural and economic change in the region. Part III studies interactions between outsiders, neighbors and Central Asian Republics. Conflict and cooperation in the Caspian region is studied in part IV, with Aral Sea and Azerbijan as cases. Revised edition of the book published under the same title in 2004 (ISBN 90 04 12809 3).
