Of all the regions of the former Soviet Union, Central Asia is potentially one of the most explosive and certainly one of the least understood. It is also growing rapidly in importance to U.S. national security, commercial, and foreign policy interests: it has vast oil, gas, gold, and other resources; it has become a source and transit route for narcotics and possible nuclear and other materials; and it is affected by the fierce conflicts in Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Vast in size (larger than Eastern and Western Europe combined), and with a rapidly growing population of over 50 million people, it is marked by the persistence of relatively corrupt and authoritarian governments. This report assesses the potential for conflict in Central Asia through the prism of one of its most volatile areas, the Ferghana Valley. Spanning parts of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, the Ferghana Valley is home to 20 percent of Central Asia's entire population. The region has recently experienced increasing religious and ethnic tensions--the further danger being that instability in the valley could spread more widely throughout Central Asia. The Ferghana Valley project of the Council on Foreign Relations' Center for Preventive Action (CPA) has produced this report as the fourth volume in its series of Preventive Action Reports. Sponsored by The Council on Foreign Relations and The Century Foundation.

The United States faces a major challenge today to create a coherent and comprehensive energy policy that accommodates and coordinates, where possible, domestic and foreign policy priorities and objectives in an effective manner. In this context, the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy and the Council on Foreign Relations cosponsored an independent Task Force to define a U.S. strategic national energy policy.The published report of this Task Force, Strategic Energy Policy: Challenges for the 21st Century, defines the energy problems facing the United States today and outlines findings and recommendations for the creation of a strategic energy initiative. The Task Force Report balances rising world energy requirements, energy infrastructure constraints, environmental concerns, and domestic energy use challenges in a pragmatic way and discusses options and trade-offs for near term policy actions and long-term initiatives.Cosponsored by James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy or Rice University and The Council on Foreign Relations.

The fog of war has long befuddled military and political leaders. Of all the battlefronts in today's war on terrorism, few are as foggy as terrorist financing. This report finds that although al Qaeda's finances have been disrupted by US efforts, they have not been destroyed - and as long as al Qaeda retains access to a viable financial network it will remain a lethal threat to the United States. Confronted with a lack of political will among US allies, the Bush administration appears to have made a policy decision not to use the full power of US influence to pressure other governments to disrupt terrorist financing more effectively. The report offers a number of specific recommendations to ensure a more effective US and international response to the problem. It brings together the work and ideas of the country's foremost experts on terrorist financing, along with leading figures in the foreign policy community, on Wall Street and in the law enforcement and intelligence services.
