| description | One of the most important geopolitical events at the end of the twentieth century was the appearance of five new nation-states in what Halford Mackinder described, in 1904, as the heartland or geographical hub of the world. Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kirghizstan are the countries that make up Central Asia and that currently play an important role in global geopolitics and the global economy, above all because of their oil and gas reserves. However, given their importance in the region, they are experiencing a range of conflicts, including incomplete democratization processes, disputes over the use and exploitation of the Caspian Sea resources, ethnic problems, and a rise in Islamic fundamentalism, all of which impact on regional and international stability, in addition to an intense rivalry between global and regional powers for influence in the zone. This paper identifies the most significant conflicts in Central Asia and sketches out some of the possible scenarios for the region’s future |

This paper identifies the most significant conflicts in Central Asia and sketches out some of the possible scenarios for the region’s future Uno de los acontecimientos geopolíticos más importantes de finales del siglo xx fue la aparición de cinco nuevos estados-nación, en lo que Halford Mackinder denominó, en 1904, como el pivote geográfico del mundo o heartland. Uzbekistán, Turkmenistán, Kazajstán, Tayikistán y Kirguizistán son los países que conforman Asia Central y en la actualidad desempeñan un papel relevante en la geopolítica y geoeconomía mundiales, principalmente por sus reservas de hidrocarburos. Sin embargo, por su importancia en la región, ésta se encuentra inmersa en diferentes conflictos, como procesos inconclusos de democratización, disputas por el uso y explotación de los recursos del Mar Caspio, problemas étnicos, un incremento del fundamentalismo islámico, los cuales alteran la estabilidad regional e internacional, a más de una intensa rivalidad de las potencias mundiales y regionales por influir en la zona. Este artículo identifica los conflictos más importantes en Asia Central y determina algunos de los posibles escenarios para el futuro de la región.
