- Abstract
Central Asia takes on particular importance in US foreign policy in a modern context. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the role and place of the Central Asian region always change due to the global geopolitical context. Those dynamics might be perfectly traced through so-called “peaks” in 1991-1994, 1998, 2001-2002, and 2010-2015 and are corresponding crisis points and turbulences around the region. Surely, the Big Game period is over, still many experts today insist on using that term to highlight the resource and transit potential of the region. This research poses that only the global context, i.e. the crisis, is pushing Central Asia into the focus of great powers. This thesis is also corroborated by the increase of its role arising from the Ukrainian crisis escalation at the beginning of 2022.
