WORLD GEOPOLITICS AND THE NEW SITUATION IN THE CENTRAL ASIAN REGION: TURNING POINTS AND TRENDS

In such a difficult period, when the world is faced with difficult situations that have not happened in the past centuries, the Central Asian region is also experiencing long-term, pan-regional, and large-scale changes in the power of influence. This is mainly due to the strategic adjustment and regulatory policy of the United States of America for the Central Asian region, concern about the weakening of Russia's influence in this region, China's desire to use its demographic and economic power, Turkey's fraternal activity, the religious propaganda of the Arab-Islamic world, India's activity in the region in recent years, as well as the change of power of some states in the region, especially in leading countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. It is no coincidence that the situation in the Central Asian region has undergone such changes. In particular, it is a direct result of the interaction of various trends and factors, both international and regional. Also, this trend, in turn, will have a decisive and large-scale impact on the future of Central Asia and the general situation there. As the main goal of the study, in this article we tried to comprehensively consider new trends in the Central Asian region as a whole and the reasons for their formation and directions of further development. In the course of achieving this goal, the authors were set the following tasks : to analyze the impact of these circumstances on the countries of Central Asia, reviewing various changes and turning points in the context of political, economic, security, mutual competition and other issues of modern world geopolitics. In the process of writing the research work, methods of comparative analysis, system-structural, induction, retrospective, chronological scientific research were used. The novelty of the study is to consider the possibilities of comprehensive development of the region, analyzing the role of the Central Asian region in the current changing world process. The results of the study allow a deeper understanding of the relationship of CA countries with world giants, the role and features of the region in increasing its integrity and sustainable development, and these results can be useful for political scientists, regional scientists, as well as specialists in the field of foreign policy and diplomacy.
