Weak, corrupt, and politically unstable, the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan are dismissed as isolated and irrelevant to the outside world. But are they? This hard-hitting book argues that Central Asia is in reality a globalization leader with more extensive involvement in economics, politics, and security dynamics beyond its borders than any other world region. Yet Central Asia's international activities are mostly hidden from view, with disturbing implications for world security.

Based on years of research and involvement in the region, Alexander Cooley and John Heathershaw reveal how business networks, elite bank accounts, overseas courts, third-party brokers, and Western lawyers connect Central Asia's supposedly isolated leaders with global power centers. The authors also uncover widespread Western participation in money laundering, bribery, foreign lobbying by autocratic governments, and the exploiting of legal loopholes within Central Asia. Riveting and important, this book exposes the global connections of a troubled region that must no longer be ignored.

"Insightful and topical - a comprehensive take on a neglected region." (Edward Lucas, senior editor, The Economist))

Great substance, very informative book, with well-elaborated detail. Good read for everyone interested in the region. Also the tone of reading is good, brings the substance close. Big problem is pronunciation of names, both geographic and personal. Some unrecognisable (Abidjan or Dushanbe eg.)

Informative, good reading tone, bad pronounciation
