KHLOPONIN ENDEAVOURS TO RAISE INVESTOR CONFIDENCE IN NORTHERN CAUCASUS
By Kevin Daniel Leahy (7/22/2010 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Alexander Khloponin is no economic visionary. His economic values are based on open markets, free movement of capital, public-private partnership – in short, what might be termed the neo-liberal economic agenda. These economic values brought him success as governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai.
CENTRAL ASIA’S SKILLED MIGRANTS: BRAIN DRAIN OR BRAIN GAIN?
By Rafis Abazov (7/22/2010 issue of the CACI Analyst)
This spring, hundreds of young professionals, scholars and PhD students across Central Asia packed their books, research projects and CVs and headed for foreign countries to get professional training, education, or internships.

CHINA’S DEEPENING ENGAGEMENT WITH PAKISTAN ON COUNTERTERRORISM
By Ghulam Ali (5/26/2010 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The April 2010 visit of Maulana Fazl-ur-Rahman, head of Pakistani Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), to China at the invitation of the Communist Party of China (CPC), was yet another move on Beijing’s part to tackle the challenge of terrorism emanating from Islamic fundamentalists. Starting from September 11, 2001, China has expanded its cooperation with Pakistan on counterterrorism through a wide range of activities, including engagement with the religious political parties of the country. This would certainly help China in handling its separatist problem in Xinjiang.
