Abstract

The Amu Darya river marks a large part of the border between Afghanistan and its northern neighbours Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Until the end of the Soviet Union, this border could hardly be passed and formed a line of separation between different paths of development. Today, security is the first maxim of Central Asian border policy. Nonetheless, the beginnings of trans-border co-operation are gradually taking shape.
