Conclusions.  a"The European Union has matured as an actor in Central Asia but research has not followed suit. This is changing with this volume. Longtime Central Asia watchers with insights into EU policies offer a tour through the EU kitchen of foreign policymaking and discuss the Central Asian reaction to Brussels’ menu." –Jos Boonstra, Senior Researcher and Coordinator of the Europe-Central Asia Monitoring (EUCAM) initiative at the Centre for European Security Studies in Groningen, The Netherlands. This volume explains the behavior of the European Union (EU) towards Central Asia. In so doing, the responses of regional actors which impact the EU’s regional conduct, and the effects of competing external governance providers (particularly Russia and China), are considered. The current literature – often from an interdisciplinary, descriptive area studies angle – reveals some research gaps. Scholars chiefly explore the impacts of the EU on Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, while action of the EU itself with its decision-making, preferences, and underlying drivers, remains underspecified. Focusing more explicitly on the EU, chapters in the book are systematically organized along a set of shared, overarching questions. Ultimately, the authors depict and explain EU action and assess how successful the organization has been in achieving its stated regional objectives in a number of policy fields: Economic Development and Trade; Security; Democratization and Human Rights; Water; and Education.
