After the collapse of the Soviet Union the new states of Central Asia faced a challenging task of building a new country, its symbols, relations between institutional power and the sovereign and imaginary geopolitical landscape. The grass root processes of national awakening were coupled with the deliberate activities of the dominant political actors striving to shape them in a way conducive to their power claims. Thus the monuments of great ancestors and the billboards presenting the image of incumbent presidents became very common element of the symbolic landscape of Central Asia's new republics. The official speeches of the governing presidents have frequently referred to great historical figures, constructed historical analogies, praised the thousand years old traditions of the fatherland and adduced historical evidence testifying ancient roots of the countries. This article is focused on the mechanisms of ethnocentric reinterpretation of the past. For the newly constituted Republics of Central Asia either the evidence of the past power status and glorious moments or of the past tragedies have been equally strong legitimizing factors both internally and externally. No matter, whether invented or constructed, propagated national values have played a key role in justifying the power claims and international position of the new countries. Additionally, the paper's objective is to analyze how state structures and institutions implement national solutions and how the authoritarian logic of the state institutions performed its power under the guise of national forms.

Central Asian states pay particular attention to the threat posed by Islamic extremism and terrorism. The purpose of this article is to examine the consequences of the global war on terrorism for the non-democratic regimes of Central Asia. The main thesis is that the new political-legal situation after 9/11 at the international level created favourable conditions for the strengthening of authoritarian governments. The security arrangements of the dictatorships derive from the colonial past and the persisting neo-colonial influence and power ambitions of the local ruling elite. The article consists of five sections. The first section discusses how neo/colonial discourses present Islam as a threat to the security of Central Asia. The second section describes the evolution of the right of peoples to struggle for self-determination and the fight against terrorism at the international level. The next two sections focus on the anti-extremist and anti-terrorist policies in the Central Asian states and how these policies are deployed to consolidate authoritarianism. The final section highlights selected aspects of the community of interests shared by the power elite of the centre and the periphery.
