Summary
Oil, Islam, and Conflict : Central Asia Since 1945 by Johnson, Rob Central Asia is fast becoming a region of international concern, not least because of its volatile cocktail of abundant oil and gas, Jihadist groups, dictatorial regimes and the political and economic rivalry of Russia, China, the USA and Iran. As an intensifying battleground for religious fundamentalism, democratic politics and access to precious resources that is awash with narcotics, weapons and ethnic tensions, it may well become 'the new Middle East'.
