Trans-Afghan Railway Revives the Silk Road
Afghanistan’s emergence as a central pivot challenges traditional regional security frameworks, positioning it at the intersection of South, Central and West Asian geopolitical dynamics. The construction of the Trans-Afghan Railway, connecting Uzbekistan to Pakistan via Afghanistan, represents more than a transportation infrastructure project. It aims to act as an instrument of regional geoeconomic transformation. This article argues that the rai…
Uzbekistan’s Afghan Strategy as a Factor in the Development of Cross-Border Interaction Between Central and South Asia
South and Central Asia have a thousand-year history of interaction, including the era of empires and the rivalry of great powers. The failure of the United States in establishing peace in Afghanistan demonstrates the importance of a regional initiative to resolve the situation in that country. The authors emphasize the importance of the ideas put forward by the Uzbek leadership, which can establish multifaceted relations between the countries of …
The Geoeconomic Simulacrum of BRI and the South Asian Regional Security Complex
The Belt and Road Initiative rattled the South Asian security environment vigorously as it involved strong territorial sensitivities of India, which found itself engaged on two fronts with Pakistan and China. The BRI has been the geoeconomic drive projecting China's peaceful rise. It has been welcomed with hope and suspicion as Western powers are equally interested in containing China in the Asian order. This paper examines BRI as a source of ext…

The global landscape lacks a unified approach to environmental practices, prompting the examination of regional contexts to influence state behaviour and…
Factoring Central Asia into China's Afghanistan Policy
China's footprints in Afghanistan are vied by many, both, friends and rivals as it cautiously reveals its geostrategic goals. It would like to emulate the African and Central Asian success story in Afghanistan as well, which is not terra incognito. Afghanistan has been the fulcrum of geopolitical balance of power during the Cold war days. China's Afghanistan policy (CAP) is marked by its insecurities of terrorism, extremism and separatism in Xinj…
The Geopolitics of Energy Security and the Response to its Challenges by India and Germany
Eurasian Geopolitics as explained in the Heartland model has been reincarnated as Energy Geopolitics. Germany and India are the two strategic economies of the Inner Crescent of Mackinder's ‘Heartland’ Model and are largely similar in geopolitical focus to the rest of Eurasia. The article argues that in the coming decades at least, Russia will play an important role in these countries' energy vision. A similar unique convergence of goals regarding…
