Abstract:

U.S. involvement and assistance contribute to the economic, political, social, and security development of the states of Central Asia. Despite difficult issues in relations between the U.S. and Central Asian states, it is in America's interest to pursue common goals such as energy development, fighting terrorism, and limiting nuclear non-proliferation.
