The new Silk Roads in Central Asia and their effects on international relations.-Miriam González Francisco

Central Asia, the geographical pivot of Eurasia, is an area of great energy and mineral resources. Five young republics, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan where the problems that emerged after the dissolution of the USSR are still present: the inter-ethnic clashes of their populations, the lack of agreement on the border delimitation and the problems related to the change climate. The Central Asian region, which has no access to the sea, is the basis for the connection of the commercial and energy routes of Eurasia. There are several Silk Routes that are being projected there by different states and great powers; excluding projects in some cases, but they show the importance of this region in the immediate future.
