The topic of our symposium is
Central Asia, a region whose geographical definition is not entirely
clear. For our purposes here we decided to focus on the four former Soviet
republics of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
After many years of total obscurity, Central
Asia now finds itself back in the headlines. I say “back in the
headlines,” because it occupied this position frequently during the
nineteenth century.
With the collapse
of the Soviet empire the days of colonialism were finally over. Central
Asia is no longer a mere chessboard for competing great powers. It is a
region with 50 million inhabitants, huge geographical potential, and
enormous supplies of raw materials. It is also a region threatened by
irresponsible forces, national egoisms, and environmental disasters.
Needless to say, the fate of Afghanistan, only recently liberated from a
sinister and irrational regime, remains crucial for the entire region.
Stability, therefore, cannot be achieved by economic development alone.
Our efforts also need to be focused on conflict prevention and the
establishment of civil societies. We need to support a new understanding
of the role of government. We need to encourage private investment, but
also to see to it that privatization does not squeeze out the poor or
further damage an already fragile environment. We need to re-examine the
anatomy of subsidies. We need to define the sometimes controversial role
of business. In short, we need to make development sustainable, lest it
compromise the ability of future generations to enjoy the same level of
welfare and freedom as the present generation.
