An interesting read on Central Asia from our talented partner and Chairman of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute, Dr. Fred Starr: “While violence rages on in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, the predominantly Muslim countries of the former Soviet Union- Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan- are experimenting with secular governments and free markets. Their efforts have had many fits and starts, but the West should recognize that their struggle to come to terms with modernity holds huge potential for the Muslim world as a whole, and may someday serve as a template for promoting peace among warring nations.”
