Not only has Afghanistan become the worldÍs largest opium producer and a center for arms dealing, but it supports a multi-billion dollar trade in goods smuggled from Dubai to Pakistan. Sustainable peace will require not just an end to fighting and a political agreement but a regional economic transformation that provides alternative forms of livelihood and promotes accountability.

Empowering Education The Empowering Education (EE) Program, which began in Ukraine, has operated as a network program since 1999. EE is coordinated jointly by the Women’s Information and Consultative Center (WICC) and the NWP. EE is an innovative grassroots popular education program that develops awareness and sensitivity of gender and human rights and builds self-esteem, conflict transformation, and critical thinking skills. The largest target audience for training sessions is still secondary school students, but the program also works with many other diverse groups, such as disabled people, journalists, lesbian youth, rural families, ethnic minorities, refugees, religious leaders, "pregnant parents," HIV positive people, and IV drug users. The program has a network of trainers who conduct trainings in schools, some universities, and non-formal settings in Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. In 2002 and 2003, trainings were also conducted with Burmese diaspora working in Thai border areas, and with Indonesian activists and Afghani educators. Participants from Armenia, Mongolia, and Russia have also taken part in some network events in the past.

Overview II. Central Asia: Together but Divided See additional research on Russia and Central Asia Central Asia's regional context has also become particularly complex since the collapse of the USSR. With the retreat of Russian influence, the states find themselves at the nexus of a number of interlocking regions: Russia and Eurasia, the Middle and Near East, South Asia, and Asia more broadly. Central Asia is simultaneously a buffer zone and a transit area among these regions. Ethno-linguistic and religious groups are spread across the regions, with Russia, Iran, China and Afghanistan sharing groups with Central Asian states, and Turkey representing the western extension of one of Central Asia's broader cultural spheres. Thus, in looking at Central Asia's external security, economic and political environment, all the neighboring states have to be factored in as an element in the region's future. In the context of the U.S. war on terrorism, Central Asia's linkages with Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, as well as Russia, have been dramatically underscored.

Cotter | Tracking Down The Terrorists –Regional "Allies" Have Their Own Axes To Russia, China, Iran, India and Pakistan are all regional powers with longterm Our past history does not leave one very sanguine that this will be http://www.unc.edu/depts/diplomat/archives_roll/2001_07-09/cotter_track/cotter_t

Most countries in the heartland of Asia (from Russia to India and Iran to Kyrgyzstan) have expressed some degree of support for the coalition now being formed to track down those responsible for the September 11 terrorist attacks. Their actual motives, and the likely degree of concrete cooperation the coalition can expect, however, vary widely. It will take nuanced diplomacy and consistent political leadership from the United States over a long period to maximize that cooperation. As the Bush Administration builds a coalition to track down and bring to justice the terrorists responsible for the September 11 attacks in New York City and Washington, it needs to keep in mind that potential coalition members will bring their own agendas to the effort. While the United States and the Western European democracies may have similar concerns and goals, the same will not be true of some other states. Two that come immediately to mind are Israel and India. Both have long-standing differences with part or all of the Islamic world and both find it in their interest to have Islam identified with September 11. Israel has already engaged its potent public relations machine to identify Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian Authority, and Palestinians in general with the tragedy. India, engaged in a long-standing dispute with Pakistan over Kashmir, undoubtedly sees potential advantages if the West takes on the numerous radical Islamic groups in Pakistan. As for the Central Asians themselves, their concern over Islamic fundamentalism and the degree of dependence on/allegiance to Russia will color their positions, whatever rhetorical support they bring to the coalition. Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan do not have common borders with Afghanistan, so their cooperation is probably less useful than what might be called the "front-line" states—Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Kazakhstan, which has a long border with Russia and a significant ethnic Russian population, will be unlikely to stray from Moscow’s line to offer more than moral support for the coalition. Kyrgyzstan, a poor country which depends heavily on western investment and assistance, is squeezed between Russia and China, neither of which will want western military forces in their backyards.

Brief Introduction Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), is an intergovernmental regional organization established in 1985 by Iran, Pakistan and Turkey for the purpose of promoting economic, technical and cultural cooperation among the Member States. ECO is the successor organization of Regional Cooperation for Development (RCD) which remained in existence since 1964 up to 1979. In 1992, the Organization was expanded to include seven new members, namely: Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Republic of Azerbaijan, Republic of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Republic of Uzbekistan. The date of the Organization’s expansion to its present strength, 28 th November, is being observed as the ECO Day. The ECO region is full of bright trading prospects. Despite its young age, ECO has developed into a thriving regional organization. Its international stature is growing. Nevertheless, the organization faces un-daunting challenges with respect to realization of its objectives and goals. Most importantly, the region is lacking in appropriate infrastructure and institutions which the Organization is seeking to develop, on priority basis, to make full use of the available resources in the region.

The region is located in the center of the Eurasian continent. It is bordered on the north by the Russian Federation, on the south by Iran and Afghanistan, and on the east by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Mongolia lies on the upper portion of the PRC; Azerbaijan, a member of the Caucasus, lies on the western side of the region near Turkmenistan. In too many ways, the Central Asia region is not an easy territory. Great ideas may have connected Eastern and Western civilizations by way of the Silk Road, which is actually a network of routes rather than a single byway, but the variegated terrain of Central Asia is as physically daunting as its history is legendary. From east to west, the region stretches nearly 4,500 kilometers and occupies a land area about the size of Europe, exclusive of the former Soviet Union.
