This paper is dealing with a complex issue of current geopolitics, the revival of the Great Game in Central Asia. For our analysis, we used some of the latest published sources concerning actions and strategies of all of the world’s current great powers and regional powers having strategic interests in states of Central Asia. The analysis is centered on two directions, first on strategic‑political dimension, especially in the mirror of conflicts within the Islam world and America’s war on terror. The second direction of research is focusing on economic problems, and is focused especially on the pipeline projects.
