Abstract

This article charts Iran’s relations with Central Asia following the break-up of the Soviet Union. This event gave Iran a new set of neighbors to the north, and this came at a time when Iran was undergoing changes in the direction of its foreign policy from radical idealistic goals, such as the export of the Islamic Revolution, to more pragmatic aims, including giving priority to its national interests and pursuing good neighborly relations. Since 1991, Iran has attempted to develop relations with the Central Asian states, both bilateral and through various regional fora. This article examines the economic plans of the great powers in Central Asia and its threats and opportunities for Iran and designs a favorable model for dealing with threats.
