This paper discusses Central Asia’s geopolitical significance and security challenges. In the case of each security issue – such as trans-border water management; terrorism and narco-trafficking; migration, human trafficking, border management; and nuclear surety – the paper’s author 1) briefly reviews the issue; 2) explains why or how it developed over time; and 3) looks at its significance within a broader regional framework. She then focuses on Canada’s role in Central Asia, including its trade and investment interests in the area, and how Ottawa might become more engaged in the area, particularly in the security sphere.
