"Following the 9/11/2001 terror attacks in the US, Central Asia moved into the focus of the worldwide efforts aimed at crisis prevention and the fight against terrorism. If the region was no longer perceived merely as the faraway periphery of the crumbled Soviet empire, it now came to be seen as a geographic intersection between East and West, as a boundary line between religious fundamentalism and the secular world, as a poorhouse among the post-socialist countries in transition, and as a potential source of instability. This foregrounded the question as to what development policy and, concretely, development cooperation can contribute to stabilizing Central Asia. The present study addresses this question from the perspective of German development cooperation. In conceptual terms, it draws on the discussion in development policy on crisis prevention and conflict resolution and applies it to the region of Central Asia." (excerpt)... view less

Nach dem Terroranschlag vom 9. November 2001 ist Zentralasien in den Brennpunkt der weltweiten Bemühungen zur Krisenprävention und zur Bekämpfung des Terrorismus gerückt. Die Region wurde nicht länger nur als weit entfernt gelegene Peripherie des zusammengebrochenen Sowjetreiches gesehen, sondern als geographische Scheidelinie zwischen Ost und West, als Grenze zwischen religiösem Fundamentalismus und der säkularen Welt, als Armenhaus unter den Transformationsstaaten und als potenzielle Quelle von Instabilität. Damit stellte sich die Frage, welchen Beitrag die Entwicklungshilfepolitik, vor allem die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit zur Stabilisierung Zentralasiens leisten kann. In diesem Zusammenhang wird hier die entwicklungspolitische Diskussion über Krisenprävention und Konfliktlösung aufgegriffen und für die zentralasiatische Region konkretisiert.
