    Lecture Abstract:
    Security dynamics in Central Asia have been developing as an inalienable part of the process of securitization of the post-Soviet area. The newly independent states of Central Asia have become stronger, they have recognized that they have similar interests and face similar security challenges. The regional dynamics is primarily defined by the common locality and common history of its peoples/states and by the fairly stable models of amity/enmity, conflict, and cooperation.

    Geopolitical rivalry in the region has intensified. Despite that, the currently functioning security institutions were set up with the direct involvement of the great powers, the main role belonged to regional prerequisites and the organizations established to address the region’s security problems. The emergence of the IS-Khorasan province tasked the expert community about the long-term prospects of this phenomenon in Central Asia. The ISIS threat to Central Asia is associated mainly with the IMU, which positions itself as a part of ISIS.

    The physical elimination of the IMU’s leaders, its fragmentation and outflow of its fighters, the financial difficulties transformed the IMU into a marginal force. Currently it cannot be qualified as an existential threat to security of Central Asia.
