Central Asia Studies
Central Asia Studies is an academic field that examines the history, culture, politics, economies, and societies of the Central Asian countries—such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. It explores their diverse cultural heritage, strategic importance, and evolving relationships with neighboring regions and global powers.
