In A New, Revised Edition Of His Acclaimed Book, Olivier Roy Examines The Political Development Of Central Asia, From Russian Conquests To The War On Terror And Beyond.During The Antigorbachev Coup In August 1991, Most Communist Leaders From Soviet Central Asia Backed The Plotters. Within Weeks Of The Coups Collapse, Those Same Leadersnow Transformed Into Ardent Nationalists Proclaimed The Independence Of Their Nations, Adopted New Flags And New Slogans, And Discovered A New Patriotism.How Were These New Nations Built Among Peoples Without Any Traditional Nationalist Heritage And No History Of Independent Governance? Roy Argues That Soviet Practice Had Always Been To Build On Local Institutions And Promote Local Elites, And That Soviet Administrationas Opposed To Soviet Rhetoricwas Always Surprisingly Decentralized In The Farflung Corners Of The Empire. Thus, With Homegrown Political Leaders And Administrative Institutions, National Identities In Central Asia Emerged Almost By Stealth.Roys Analysis Of The New States In Central Asiakazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tadjikstan, Kirghizstan And Azerbaijanprovides A Glimpse Of The Future Of An Increasingly Fragmented And Dangerous Region.
