'This is an excellent and engaging piece of work, which takes an innovative and ground-breaking approach to Mackinder's theories. It is a must-read for anyone with an interest in Mackinder's contribution to geopolitics and its contemporary readings. The kind of academic work to which so many aspire.' - Christopher Wyatt, author of Afghanistan and the Defence of Empire 'Approaching Central Asia through the theories of the imperial scholar-strategist Halford Mackinder (1861-1947), this book offers an impressive guide to multilingual universes of power, intrigue and geopolitics. And if you think you know Mackinder already, prepare to be astonished and to reappraise.' - James D. Sidaway, Professor of Political Geography, National University of Singapore 'A challenging and insightful book representing serious analysis of Central Asian geopolitics.' - Alisher Faizullaev, D.Sc., Professor at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy, Uzbekistan, and former Ambassador to the United Kingdom. 'Halford Mackinder's "heartland" is invariably invoked in discussions about Central Asia. This distinctive, welcome collection by regional and international scholars provides a must-read systematic and perceptive assessment of how Mackinder's ideas have been interpreted within and adapted to the complexities of Central Asia's local contexts.' - Sally N. Cummings, Professor of International Relations University of St Andrews, and author of Understanding Central Asia
