Abstract
Central Asian territories are too large and diverse to be ignored by the world’s leading actors. Geopolitical and geo-economic interests intersect in this middle space of the Asian part of the world in various ways. The space under consideration has a very large potential for ethnic, resource, political and cultural conflict. Some of them are already underway, but many are still latent and are being held back by external stronger powers. Recently received the independence of the Central Asian countries are faced with a choice of ways of development of their countries. The option proposed by China for the development of TRANS-continental transit routes is very tempting, but carries with it many risks at the same time. Geopolitical and geo-economic problems are analyzed and interests of the main players on the world political map in the considered region are shown. The article substantiates the perspective way of creation of interstate Association on the given ultra-continental space for effective preservation of national sovereignty and culture, integration into the world economy, maintenance of order and security. The importance of the formation of a common socio-economic strategy, taking into account the local characteristics of such a heterogeneous territory, is emphasized. It is impossible to allow excessive competition between the countries of the Central Asian space, otherwise the maximum dividends from the existing advantages of the territories will not be realized and so small opportunities will be scattered. A new innovative way to reconcile the multilateral interests of Central Asia is needed.
