Alexander Cooley, author of Great Games, Local Rules, explores China's stealthy emerging power in Central Asia through economic engagement with the former Soviet republics.
Alexander Cooley is the Tow Professor for Distinguished Scholars and Practitioners in the Department of Political Science at Barnard College, Columbia University. In Great Games, Local Rules, Cooley explores the dynamics of the new competition for control of the region since 9/11. All three great powers -- the United States, Russia, and China -- have crafted strategies to increase their power in the area, which includes Afghanistan and the former Soviet republics of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan.
