Abstract

Marked the 19th Century, “The Great Game” which took place between Great Britain and Imperial Russia, has determined the fates of many other nations. In practical sense, the term is expired in the first quarter of the 20th Century. States of Central and Southern Asia, involved in the strategic plans of Great Powers focused their interest to Central Asia in the 20th Century. Especially, after the collapse of the Soviet Union the strategicially important Kyrgyzstan has become an area of struggle between the United States, Russia, and strategically rising China in order to hold economic concessions. This paper tries to handle the strategic games played internationally on Kyrgyzstan addressing the reference frame of “The Great Game”.
