Abstract

Abstract
In a globalized world, events beyond individual territories are affecting states and societies because of a closer integration of domestic and external factors and softening of borders. This paper argues that contradictory processes of integration and fragmentation that emerge from modern globalization can affect regional geopolitics at great lengths. Outlining the overlapping complexities in selected key states of Central, West and South Asia, this paper aims to examine the impact of certain global trends on contemporary regional geopolitical challenges.
