Central Asia: the bends of history and geography?

Abstract

Este artículo tiene como objetivo destacar las principales características históricas y geopolíticas de Asia Central. Diversas corrientes geopolíticas destacan la importancia de Asia Central bajo la geoestratégica y la economía global. Autores como H. Mackinder o Z. Brzezinski, destacaron la importancia del 'Heartland' (es decir, los Balcanes euroasiáticos), mientras 'eje del mundo' y espacio geopolítico. El argumento central es que esta es una región de gran importancia en el escenario económico actual, como resultado de su posición estratégica como nexo entre Oriente y Occidente, un espacio de competencia entre las grandes potencias. Al revisar la historia y a través de una revisión de la literatura, este trabajo pretende contribuir a aumentar el conocimiento sobre una región remota del mundo, pero de suma importancia en el contexto geopolítico y económico de hoy. Además, la región sigue, en los últimos años, atrayendo la atención de los inversores extranjeros debido a la existencia de grandes reservas de petróleo y gas.

O objetivo desde trabalho é destacar as principais características históricas e geopolíticas da Ásia Central. Várias correntes geopolíticas enfatizam a importância da Ásia Central sob a geoestratégica e a economia global. Autores como H. Mackinder ou Z. Brzezinski, destacaram a importância de "Heartland" (ou seja, os Balcãs eurasiáticos), enquanto 'eixo do mundo' e espaço geopolítico. O argumento central é que esta é uma região de grande importância no cenário econômico atual, como resultado de sua posição estratégica como enlace entre o Oriente e o Ocidente, uma zona de competição entre as grandes potências. Ao analisar a história e através de uma revisão da literatura, este trabalho pretende contribuir para aumentar o conhecimento sobre uma região afastada do mundo, mas de grande importância no contexto geopolítico e econômico de hoje. Além disso, a região continua, nos últimos anos, atraindo a atenção de investidores estrangeiros devido à existência de grandes reservas de petróleo e gás.

This article aims to highlight the major historical and geopolitical characteristics of Central Asia. Various geopolitical currents highlight the prominence of Central Asia under the geostrategic and global economy. Authors such as H. Mackinder or Z. Brzezinski, stressed the importance of the 'Heartland' (i.e. the Eurasian Balkans), while is 'world axis' and geopolitical space. The central argument is that this is a region of major importance in the current economic arena as a result of its strategic position as a link between East and West, a space of competition and reinforcement of the great powers. By revisiting history and through a literature review, this paper aims to contribute to increase knowledge about a remote region of the world, but of utmost importance in the geopolitical and economic context of today. Besides, the region has been, in recent years, attracting the attention of foreign investors due to the existence of large reserves of oil and gas
