This book brings together a series of innovative contributions which provide an eclectic view of how theorizing politics plays out in Central Asia. How are the concepts of governance, legitimacy, ideology, power, order, and the state framed in the region? How can we use the experiences of the Central Asian states to renovate political theorizing? In addressing these questions, the volume relies on the contributions of many young and local researchers, whose chapters are primed to address three key themes: exploring models of governance, revealing ideological justifications, and reframing state and order. Utilizing a range of single and comparative case studies from across the Central Asian space, this illuminating and original volume opens up a new space for political theorists, regional specialists and students of politics to begin reconsidering how we approach the theorization of regions of the world assumed to be on the periphery.--

New dynamics of competition between countries are emerging in the quest for promoting regional connectivity. Several economic corridor projects are being pushed by different countries in South Asia to advance their respective interests. Pakistan and China are promoting the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a north-south trade and transit corridor for enhancing connectivity and regional integration. Regional countries, in response, are advancing separate connectivity projects. The challenge for Pakistan is to operationalise the CPEC, while being cognisant of markets present across the eastern and western frontiers. The regional connectivity agenda of the South Asian states and the framework of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) provides opportunities for establishing new patterns of economic and trade cooperation in the region.
