China, Xinjiang and Central Asia History, transition and crossborder interaction into the 21st century - London Routledge 2009 - xii, 194 p. - Routledge contemporary China series ; 38 .

This book explores the effect of global and local dynamics across the region: global influences include the 'War on Terror' and international competition for energy resources; local dynamics include Islamic revival, Central Asian nationalism, drugs trafficking; economic development and integration. The authors argue that these multiple challenges, in fact, unite Xinjiang and Central Asia in a common struggle for identities and economic development.
