This new study by the President of Uzbekistan focuses on the country's special opportunities and challenges as it faces the 21st century. From the mid-19th century onwards, the people of Uzbekistan were under the yoke of Tsarist Russia, and later under the yoke of the Soviet Communist Empire, which made this land of unique natural and mineral resources a mere raw-material appendix. Fortunately, Uzbekistan has a huge potential for the establishment and successful development of foreign economic relations for an active participation in global economic relations. One of these potentials lies in the specific geostrategic situation of the country, which can be a bridge between the West and East. Other potentials are the valuable and needed mineral resources, the agricultural products and the advance economic, manufacturing and social infrastructure.

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2016

Wonderful and interesting book for any scholar of Uzbekistan or people with an interest in the country. Although the President addresses issues which are by now a little outdated -- it was written 19 years ago -- the central principles of Uzbekistani foreign and domestic policy have not changed. If you want to understand how politics works in Uzbekistan, this is a great way to start.

Also, Islom Karimov is a fantastic writer. The prose is quite impressive.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 1999

I bought the book from the Uzbek embassy abroad.I have read most of our president's books and take a very serious interest in issues facing Uzbekistan. Unfortunately,I found the book to be rather unrealistic and more politicaly motivated for supporting his candidicy.The hopes and intentions have all only appeared on his many diffirent books which only strenghtens his foregin understanding and does not reflect the state of the republic.

A Book by the President

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 1999

This is an interesting book that provides an overview of the development strategy for Uzbekistan by the leadership of the country. Worth reading if you want to know what is really going in the political and economic spheres of life in Uzbekistan
