Overview of book:

 

• The past 10 years have been a difficult time of the statehood for the former Soviet Union, but at least they were difficult for the world. Collapsed usual stereotypes about safety , the planet faces new challenges of the time - such as international terrorism , religious extremism , drug abuse and drug trafficking . And the fact that , Nursultan Nazarbayev managed to carry out a detailed study of the causes of these threats , making it an invaluable book , celebrated the first readers . Disclosed her problems affect every country , and in fact - each person.

• The book-depth analysis of past events fused with targeting to address these challenges. It will be the guide for those involved in security. Surely, the President Nursultan Nazarbayev, his erudition, his open-mindedness - all these qualities are reflected in the book, which will be interesting for a wide audience

• Actual problems of regional security in the context of global modernity , reflected in the new book by President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan

 

•  In his new book " The Critical Decade " Head of a young Central Asian states seeking answers to the new challenges of the present , the immediate prospects for determining the historical development of mankind as a whole , and the countries of the Central Asian region .

 

• Starting the new century , was marked by the tragic events of September 11 , was the occasion for a profound rethinking the effectiveness of existing global system of security . No coincidence that the first chapter of the book "Empire of fear and terror rhetoric " talks about one of the most dangerous threats of the day - international terrorism , declared war on the entire civilized world . In the book , terrorism is viewed primarily as a means to achieve certain powers to their particular political goals. Consequently, the author is convinced , the fight against terrorism besides levers of military influence , should include active in overcoming disparities in economic development between different countries , timely solution to the problems of poverty , development of inter-ethnic and inter-religious dialogue , etc. In particular , in addition to preventive counterterrorism mechanisms Nazarbayev proposes a global strategy aimed at providing all-round support to regions that are at risk in their socio-economic development .

 

• Title of the second chapter - " In the religion of extremism no" - is positioned to strengthen in terms of some people's association "Islam and terrorism." But the thoughts expressed in this section of the book is much wider - they take such issues as the effects of globalization , national leveling foundations peoples of the modern world . And it is quite understandable that for some countries , religion becomes a factor in the preservation of ethnic and cultural identity.
• Inevitably, in such a case the contradiction called " clash of civilizations "? Nazarbayev draws readers' attention to the experience of Kazakhstan , located at the crossroads of civilizations. Lack of religious extremism in the country was made possible thanks to the measures taken by the government and aimed at maintaining a constant inter-ethnic and inter-religious dialogue in society .

 

• In the third chapter, the author reveals just global problem of drug abuse and drug trafficking . This is a " zone of special attention " from which the threats to security in Central Asia directly . But this is not a regional danger - the Central Asian republics are considered more as a transit country for drugs en ​​route to the rich European market. N. Nazarbayev proposes collective and more effective ways to combat and protect against drug trafficking . Of paramount importance is the international and regional cooperation aimed at pulling the economy , such as Afghanistan, of " heroin " orientation. It is useful , by the way , note the consistency with which the Kazakh president raised the issue of Afghanistan. At the UN Millennium Summit Nursultan Nazarbayev spoke openly about the existence of a serious threat , concentrated in Afghanistan. Later, after the main part of the anti-terrorist operation in the country , the Kazakh leader has repeatedly stated the need of performance promises to provide financial assistance to Afghanistan , part of the donor countries at the Tokyo conference.

If a poor person who does not work , give the bread in one hand , and in another - automatic, he will be forced to go to war . Some leaders of the Western European countries said that it is not important . That bin Laden - rich, but engaged in terrorism. But he gives money to the poor man got automatic .
