The second part explores the strategic context of central Asia and focusses especially on cooperation and competition between various regional and extra regional powers particularly the US Russia and China in their attempts to enhance influence over the region and gain control over the hydrocarbon reserves. This section also probes the relations of the central Asian states with the neighbouring countries Turkey Pakistan Iran and Afghanistan. The third section of the volume deals exclusively with Indo central Asian relations. It focusses primarily on new policy challenges confronted by India after the emergence of independent states in the Eurasian region especially in the context of great power interplay and the continuously changing Eurasian strategic landscape. Apart from India's security concerns the chapters in this section also emphasise the economic aspects of Indo central Asian relations. 354 pp.
