Uzbekistan is strategically well placed in Central Asia and wider Eurasia. A representative depiction of the international politics of Central Asia requires acknowledging the importance of Uzbekistan, its international roles and key interests.

This book addresses the foreign policy and the current status of international relations of Uzbekistan. It focuses mainly on continuity, recognition, role theory and the concept of self-reliance. The author argues that the Government of Uzbekistan sought to be recognised as a self-reliant power after independence, but that the international norms of the post-Cold War order, coupled with the conflicting aims of the partners with whom it interacted, hindered acknowledgement and contributed to a twenty-year struggle for recognition.

An assessment of President Karimov’s legacy in the foreign policy domain, this book contributes to the developing field of role theory and recognition in International Relations. It will also be of interest to academics in the fields of Central Asian and Eurasian politics and international relations.
