Abstract Details

2010, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, International Development Studies (International Studies).
The purpose of this study was to investigate U.S. activities in post-Soviet Central Asia and their impact on regional economic and social stability. The analysis of the U.S. policy in CA is informed by the careful examination of a.) legal documents and testimonies, b.) statistics, and c.) interviews with experts. The U.S. carries out its policy mainly through the State Department and the Department of Defense in the region as well as the U.S. Trade Representative. Therefore, these bodies’ documents are presented and analyzed in this thesis. The results revealed that the U.S. does not focus currently on the development of regionalism in post-Soviet CA. Although there is an on-going dialogue about the importance of economic stability for the promotion of CA expressed by the U.S. officials working with CA, in fact the U.S. activities mostly focus on the achievement of the goals of the U.S. in Afghanistan. To this end, U.S. supports the promotion of the idea of Wider CA.
