This publication examines issues that affect regional development and economic co-operation in the wider Central Asia region, using a framework based on two main areas of analysis: i) critical linkages between sectors, including border management, security, and trade and transit facilitation; and between electricity trade, hydropower generation and water issues; and ii) the political obstacles to progress and the need for incentives to build mutual confidence and ease political concerns, complemented by initiatives that augment and change the distribution of benefits and which therefore make regional co-operation more likely to deliver progress.
