	Central Asia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The idea of Central Asia as a distinct region of the world was introduced in 1843 by the geographer Alexander von Humboldt.
		Central Asia is an extremely large region of varied geography, including high plateaus and mountains (Tian Shan), vast deserts (Kara Kum, Kyzyl Kum, Taklamakan), and especially treeless, grassy steppes.
		Uzbek and Uighur are spoken in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Xinjiang.

		It is a presentation of Inner Asia from the early history to the present time and covers a general outline of the political developments which might take place in the region in the near future.
		Inner Asia has once more become the focus of interest in the world affairs because of its enormous underground energy resources, which is the most essential factor for Western civilization.
		However, maintaining long-term stability in Inner Asia highly depends on the flow of capital, technology and know-how to the region from developed countries, since their capabilities in these respects are hardly sufficient to sustain a steady economic growth, thus, social stability.

	A History of Inner Asia (Svat Soucek) - book review
		A History of Inner Asia wouldn't be a bad choice for a traveller wanting to learn something about the region, but it is really aimed more at students or scholars after a framework for deeper delving into its history: it is a useful reference as well as an accessible introduction.
		"Inner Asia" is a scholarly neologism, used by Soucek to refer to Mongolia and traditional "Central Asia" — the five ex-Soviet states of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekhstan, Tajikstan, and Kyrgyzstan, the Chinese autonomous region of Sinkiang, and portions of Iran, Afghanistan, and Russia.
		The Kazakh nomads were conquered in the century up to 1850 and the khanates gradually lost their independence, with the final blows coming in the European scramble for colonies towards the end of the 19th century; their administration as governorates-general was not unlike colonial regimes elsewhere.

	Inner Asia and Inner Asian Studies
		Inner Asia, or the interior of the Eurasian landmass, comprises in historical terms the civilizations of Central Asia, Mongolia, and Tibet, together with neighboring areas and peoples that in certain periods formed cultural, political, or ethnolinguistic unities with these regions.
		Areas pertinent to the study of Inner Asia for ethnolinguistic and historical reasons include the Tatar, Bashkir, and Kalmyk Republics in Russia and the Manchu homeland in northeast China.
		Thus, our term "Inner Asia" corresponds to Russian "Sredniaia i Tsentral'naia Aziia" (however, under the influence of Western languages since 1991, Russian "Tsentral'niaia Aziia" is now sometimes used to mean "Central Asia" or "Inner Asia" in general).

	Teaching about Inner Asia. ERIC Digest.
		One of the most significant characteristics of Inner Asia is its central location in relation to the major sedentary civilizations of the past and present.
		The location of Inner Asia, in the middle of the Eurasian land mass, has in the past made this area a convenient crossroads for traders and travelers as well as a bloody battlefield for frequent wars between the nomads of the central heartland and the settled peoples who lived around them.
		Another way to integrate the study of Inner Asia into the social studies curriculum is through in-depth investigations of one or two of the many cultures of this region.

	Inner Asian and Altaic Studies
		Inner Asian and Altaic Studies deal with the history and cultures of the peoples in the steppe, mountain, forest, and oasis areas between China, Russia, western Iran, and Pakistan.
		The Committee on Inner Asian and Altaic Studies was established in the fall of 1972 for the purpose of stimulating and integrating instruction and research in these areas.
		Like these, the PhD program in Inner Asian and Altaic Studies is not training in area studies as such but rather a program in an established discipline (i.e., anthropology, art and architecture, history, linguistics, literature, or religious studies) with emphasis on Inner Asia and/or the Altaic languages.

	ZNet \|Japan \| Where is East Asia?
		Similarly Inner Asia (Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, Xinjiang and Tibet) is generally conceptualized as the "frontier" of China and figures significantly largely in the imagination of historians who study the Qing Empire (1644-1911), while connections with Russia, Europe and beyond tend to be ignored, as is its salience for post-Qing China and the contemporary world.
		To be sure, Inner Asia looms large in the minds of historians and historical anthropologists of the Xiongnu and the Mongol empire, whose writings contribute to a better understanding of the world formation, especially East Asia.
		The Central European University in Budapest, the University of Central Asia with three campuses in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz and Tajikistan, and the Kennan Institute in Washington DC, are among the landmark Euroamerican-financed institutions that are devoted to education and research in Central Eurasia.

		The Institute of Asian Research has recognized that expertise on Inner Asia and Central Asia is lacking not only at the IAR, but at UBC and in Canada more broadly.
		While we are not in a position to address this gap comprehensively, we are attempting to raise the profile of research on this area of great interest to Canadians and hope to establish more sustained activities in the future.
		Research on Central and Inner Asia has gained renewed prominence in the 21st century as more attention in the social sciences and in the policy community is focusing on the interplay between religious and ethnic identities and some of the Asian states as well as on issues surrounding the management of natural resource endowments.

		In addition, it is the contention of this review that this bibliography is a resource for study and reflection on the past and future state of the fields of China and Inner Asia.
		Reading through the annotations, one discovers that the value of the dissertations are not only in their utility of original research, but in the theoretical breadth and comparative perspective that is often lacking in the more cautious published monographs.
		One of the principles of social science and historical methodology is to review the literature, not only the dissertations themselves, but their bibliographies and literature surveys are helpful to the research endeavor.
