Eurasia, a region which essentially consists of the former Soviet Republics, has always drawn international attention because of its geographical location, strategic significance and the presence of huge amounts of natural resources. This region has become an arena of sharp competition for influence between all the major powers in the world--the US, the European Union, China, Japan, India, Turkey, Iran, besides many others. The Eurasian states are about to complete 25 years of their independent existence and tumultuous transition. Each of the Eurasian states has chosen its own strategy for development as well as its foreign policy priorities. While the democratic reforms in these countries have faced enormous problems, the economic transition from a state-controlled economy to a market one has been painful. There is no single model that can characterise the entire region in terms of its political and socio-economic transformation. The prevalence of ethnic tensions combined with frozen conflicts between many of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries has compounded the situation. The competing integration processes sponsored by the major powers have further exacerbated tensions in the former Soviet space.
