Abstract

Until the end of the Cold War and breakup of the Soviet Union, there was minimal interest among Japanese officials about the countries of central Asia. What is remarkable is the upsurge of interest in the region at the governmental level in the post-Cold War period. This chapter considers factors behind these developments and ponders why Japan has played such an active role in the region.
