Abstract
After “9/11”, United States aggressively interferes in Central Asia affairs through political, economic, military and social dimensions. It uses anti-terrorism as an excuse to garrison in Central Asia for fighting terrorism, strengthen energy cooperation and carry out democratization. Furthermore, it aims to not only improve its influences upon Central Asia states to reduce Russian strategic space, but also to contain the rise of China, in accordance with its Pacific-Asia and South-East strategy. The U.S military strength in Central Asia is closely linked with regional anti-terrorism circumstances in the future. Similarly, the effectiveness of preventing national separatism, religious extremism, international terrorism as well as multinational crimes such as drugs and trafficking will be crucial factors for Central Asia’s stability. The study result shows the U.S Central Asia policy is in a dilemma between realism and idealism: for instance, the U.S built its military base in Uzbekistan with great efforts to benefit its strategic deploy in Central Asia. However, the “Andijan event” in Uzbekistan in 2005 forces the U.S to withdraw its troops due to excessive interference of democratization activities. Thus it can be seen that the U.S.’s Central Asia policy still faces a tough task in making ideal or real decisions in the future.
