ENGLISH-SPEAKING RESEARCHERS ABOUT THE CENTRAL ASIAN KHANATES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE “GREAT GAME”
Keywords:
Central Asian khanates, “Great Game,” Bukhara Emirate, Khanate of Khiva, Russian Empire, BritainAbstract
The article presents the points of view of English-speaking researchers on the political status of the Uzbek khanates after their conquest by the Russian Empire in the 19th century. The context of the “Great Game” is another dimension that recorded the position and ambitions of the Central Asian states, and the assessment of the capabilities and independence of the latter remains ambiguous. The dominant narratives of scientists do not yet seem to distinguish them as a separate geopolitical player, despite the presence of conceptual assertions articulating this.
