United KIngdom) Dr. Hakan Sezerel (Anadolu University, Turkey) Call for Chapters *Proposals Submission Deadline: October 31, 2019* Full Chapters Due: November 30, 2019 Submission Date: December 31, 2019 Introduction The collapse of the Soviet Union in December, 1991 led to the creation of five newly independent states in Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Each of these states was conquered by Imperial Russia and was later tightly controlled by the USSR. The process of establishing themselves as truly autonomous states has been the central enterprise for these five countries over the past 27 years, an effort which has required expanding the development of the economic, educational, and touristic infrastructures, among others, of each nation. The focus of this publication is on these three aspects given the growing strategic importance of the region. Countries teetering on the brink of political and economic failure such as Afghanistan and Pakistan constitute a fertile breeding ground for all sorts of extremism and must be reinforced to ensure stability and prosperity. Several of those countries can be found in Central Asia; therefore, more must be done to assist them via actions such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), infrastructure development, educational enhancement, technological advancement, and security refinement of border controls. Objective This Handbook examines three critical aspects of national development, among others, of emerging economies that are not commonly covered in the extant literature on Central Asia. The publication will be a thorough examination of the economic, educational, and touristic development of Central Asia with the goal of strengthening the prosperity and security of this very strategic region that also possesses enormous natural resources such as oil & gas and minerals which are of global interest. Target Audience The primary target audience for this publication is established scholars and practitioners with an interest in Central Asia. The secondary target audience is graduate students writing papers or dissertations on the region.
