This lecture examines the change in Central Asia from the 18th Century to the early 21st Century. Despite the rise of maritime trade, Central Asia retains its importance in trade across Asia. As a borderland, it became a competitive space for different empires--the British, Russian, and Chinese empires in particular. Through this course, students will come to better understand how this ancient trade route changed in the modern era, and how these changes mediated imperial competition, patterns of cultural exchange within Eurasia and between Asia and Europe, the formation of new states (including both nation-states and multi-ethnic entities). The course will also provide context for understanding China’s “One belt One Road” initiative, this inland trade route in the region--a reminder that the Silk Road and its patterns of trade and exchange remain.
