More than a decade after the Central Asian countries achieved
independence, and as a multitude of Islamist groups and movements are
presenting a massive challenge to the current regimes inherited from
the former USSR, the authoritarian nature of these regimes is being
systematically blamed for the rise of Islamism. The analysis of the
expression of Central Asian Islamism is complex, because, behind the
demands for a "return" to an Islamic State, there is a desire for a
return to the Central Asian Islamic authenticity obliterated during
the Soviet period. Let us recall that Central Asian Islam has
developed in various forms, including extreme forms, in changing
Muslim societies, and that, since perestroika, it has spread back into
places from which it had largely been excluded during the Soviet era.
However complex is to do define Islamism, the phenomenon is approached
here as a political practice emanating from various religious
anti-establishment forces. We analyzed observations and facts gathered
in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. These
countries' different responses to harassment of the State in the name
of Islam shed light on the evolution of Central Asian Islam's
political workings.

Born of collective reflection, the Cahiers d'Asie centrale dossier
provides various viewpoints, relayed by Central Asian and European
researchers, on a wide variety of aspects of the question of Islamism
in the independent States of Central Asia. Based on solid field
studies carried out in different geographical areas of this vast
region, this dossier highlights the increasing fragility of the newly
independent Central Asian States, which, since the end of the USSR,
have been confronted with demands for God's "justice" and with
jihadist-type violence.
