The struggle between Russia and Great Britain over Central Asia in the nineteenth        century was the original "e;great game."e; But in the past quarter century, a new "e;great        game"e; has emerged, pitting America against a newly aggressive Russia and a        resource-hungry China, all struggling for influence over one of the volatile areas        in the world: the long border region stretching from Iran through Pakistan to        Kashmir. In Great Games, Local Rules, Alexander Cooley, one of America's most        respected Central Asia experts, explores the dynamics of the new competition over        the region since 9/11. All three great powers are pursuing important goals: basing        rights for the US, access to natural resources for the Chinese, and increased        political influence for the Russians. But Central Asian governments have proven        themselves powerful forces in their own right, establishing local rules that serve        to fend off foreign involvement, enrich themselves and reinforce their sovereign        authority. Cooley's careful and surprising explanation of how small states interact        with great powers in this vital region greatly advances our understanding of how        world politics actually works in this contemporary era.
