Identities in Formation: Nationality Religion and Transnational Ideas in Former Soviet Central Asia
Abstract
The polilicaltremors experienced in international rclations since 1989
significantly altered political geography of Eurasia, sweeping away at the
same time the international system that had bcen built up over many years
and certainties that many people believed to be inviolate. Within less than
seven years since the World had heard Gorbachev's rise to power in Moscow,
he cam c to supervise the disintegraıion of the lası of the great empires.
Instead, within the vast area once govemed centrally from Moscow, suddenly
emerged i5 new states, 'some of which, in modem times, have never enjoyed
the status of independent actors in international politics'.l
