Central Asia is a very unique place. Just over 30 years ago, every single nation in the region was under Soviet rule. Since then, these countries have been trying to navigate a very different world than the one they came from, and many of them are plagued by chronic water scarcity, poverty, lack of infrastructure, and the politicking of great powers. Today, Special Economic  Zones are seen by many administrations as a tool to regain lost prosperity and to better integrate themselves into a globalized, business-oriented world.
