Ásia Central: o prepoderante na sua história e geografía
Resumo
O objetivo desde trabalho é destacar as principais características históricas e geopolíticas da Ásia Central. Várias correntes geopolíticas enfatizam a importância da Ásia Central sob a geoestratégica e a economia global. Autores como H. Mackinder ou Z. Brzezinski, destacaram a importância de "Heartland" (ou seja, os Balcãs eurasiáticos), enquanto 'eixo do mundo' e espaço geopolítico. O argumento central é que esta é uma região de grande importância no cenário econômico atual, como resultado de sua posição estratégica como enlace entre o Oriente e o Ocidente, uma zona de competição entre as grandes potências. Ao analisar a história e através de uma revisão da literatura, este trabalho pretende contribuir para aumentar o conhecimento sobre uma região afastada do mundo, mas de grande importância no contexto geopolítico e econômico de hoje. Além disso, a região continua, nos últimos anos, atraindo a atenção de investidores estrangeiros devido à existência de grandes reservas de petróleo e gás.Downloads
