From"Taking Russia as a Teacher"to Independent Exploration:The Evolution of Counter-terrorism Policies in Central Asian Countries
Combating and preventing terrorism is of great significance to maintain stability and security in Central Asia.With profound changes in the internal and external situation,the counter-terrorism policies of Central Asian countries have experienced two distinct stages of development.The first stage was from 1991 to the time of"September 11 attacks",which can be summarized as"taking Russia as a teacher";the second stage,which is characterized by independent exploration,was after the"September 11 attacks".In more than 30 years of exploration,the concept of anti-terrorism in Central Asia has formed characteristics of prohibiting religious discrimination,safeguarding the core status of the United Nations,and respecting national sovereignty and its unique identity.At the institutional level,they have set up the legal systems for counter-terrorism with more emphasis on political purposes and have also built more complete domestic and international anti-terrorism organization systems.In terms of actions,more attention is paid to carrying out diversified and balanced international counter-terrorism cooperation and enhancing the comprehensiveness of counter-terrorism measures.The adjustment of counter-terrorism policy in Central Asia is influenced by factors such as the dissatisfaction of Central Asian countries with other countries'interference,new changes in the terrorist situation and the diffusion effect of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation's norms.Up to now,Central Asian countries have initially formed anti-terrorism strategies with their own characteristics and in line with their own needs.
