Summary:
"A penetrating look into the unrecognized and unregulated links between autocratic regimes in
Central
Asia
and centers of power and wealth throughout the West. Weak, corrupt, and politically unstable, the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan are dismissed as isolated and irrelevant to the outside world. But are they? This hard-hitting book argues that
Central
Asia
is in reality a globalization leader with extensive involvement in economics, politics and security dynamics beyond its borders. Yet
Central
Asia
's international activities are mostly hidden from view, with disturbing implications for world security. Based on years of research and involvement in the region, Alexander Cooley and John Heathershaw reveal how business networks, elite bank accounts, overseas courts, third-party brokers, and
Western
lawyers connect
Central
Asia
's supposedly isolated leaders with global power centers. The authors also uncover widespread
Western
participation in money laundering, bribery, foreign lobbying by autocratic governments, and the exploiting of legal loopholes within
Central
Asia
. Riveting and important, this book exposes the global connections of a troubled region that must no longer be ignored"
