From the ancient Silk Route onwards, Central Asia has played a pivotal role in human history, yet is a little-known part of the globe. In this course we will explore the region’s annexation by the Russian tsars and its subsequent evolution into nation-states within the USSR until the death of Stalin. In doing so, we will consider empire and anti-colonial resistance, the Great Game, confessional politics, nomadic societies, natural resources and ideas of modernity in the heart of Eurasia.
