- Notes:
- "Important changes taking place in the social roles of Islam in Central Asia and Azerbaijan have significant implications for the politics of the region, yet these changes have not been adequately examined in the existing literature. This volume describes a rich encounter between the latest scholarship and US policymaking in Washington, DC, updated to early 2015. At its core are four specially commissioned policy papers framing the major challenges the US government faces in the region. These works were originally presented at an Islam in Eurasia Policy Conference in June 2013, the proceedings of which are also summarized here. The conference was a culminating event of the multiyear Project on Islam in Eurasia at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University, undertaken with generous grant support from Carnegie Corporation of New York." -- Back cover.
