520    Weak, corrupt, and politically unstable, the former Soviet
       republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and 
       Uzbekistan are dismissed as isolated and irrelevant to the
       outside world. But are they? This hard-hitting book argues
       that Central Asia is in reality a globalization leader 
       with more extensive involvement in economics, politics, 
       and security dynamics beyond its borders than any other 
       world region. Yet Central Asia's international activities 
       are mostly hidden from view, with disturbing implications 
       for world security.   Based on years of research and 
       involvement in the region, Alexander Cooley and John 
       Heathershaw reveal how business networks, elite bank 
       accounts, overseas courts, third-party brokers, and 
       Western lawyers connect Central Asia's supposedly isolated
       leaders with global power centers. The authors also 
       uncover widespread Western participation in money 
       laundering, bribery, foreign lobbying by autocratic 
       governments, and the exploiting of legal loopholes within 
       Central Asia. Riveting and important, this book exposes 
       the global connections of a troubled region that must no 
       longer be ignored.
