The Water and Energy Problems in Central Asia and Preventive Diplomacy
The distribution and use of water, on which the normal life of any country depends, has huge potential for conflicts in Central Asia, and the study of different aspects of these problems is of interest to political scientists and those who study conflicts. All the states of the region do understand that the control over this very important resource allows not only to ensure their own stable development, but it is also the key factor of influence in the region in general. The change in the arrangement of forces on the international arena after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rapidly increased number of local conflicts in different parts of the globe have caused a quest for adequate approaches to the solution of conflict situations. Among the ways of the solution of the mentioned problems suggested by the modern political thought the idea of preventive diplomacy has won great popularity.
