THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSE AND THE NEW FOREIGN POLICY IN CENTRAL ASIA

Abstract

The world anxiously waited for the results of the US presidential election in 2020, expecting a new direction by the new president and his White House’s policy towards its friends and foes alike. Now President-elect Joe Biden and his administration will assume power on January 20, 2021, the White House’s worldview and policy will most certainly either change or modify President Donald Trump’s diplomatic, economic, and military engagements in the Central Asian countries. These and other issues will become critical concerns for policymakers and scholars of international relations for years to come. This article explores the background of the US foreign policy in these Asian countries and presents an analysis and potential areas for engagement of the Biden administration in the Central Asian region. The modern dynamics of international realities requires a constant analysis of the ongoing changes for the operational calibration of internal and external management decisions for both regional and non-regional actors. As an international actor the US will have to be responsible to keep the world and regional balance in the region by trying to get its place in the region in the realities of Chinese – Russian dominance.
