Description
- Abstract:
- The article discusses how American engagement with abusive Central Asian regimes triggered concerns by human rights advocates who believe that the cooperation between the U.S. and Central Asian governments is morally equivalent to American complicity in human rights violations. As U.S. engagement in Central Asia is a strategic policy designed to achieve limited U.S. objectives, it had to engage with governments widely acknowledged as human rights abusers like Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. It cites the failure of the human rights community to produce any clear consensus on the exact state of human rights in Central Asia and therefore articulate a viable alternative to U.S. policy.
