What is it about?
This paper provides a long term vision for Central Asia's economic integration at three mutually reinforcing levels: intraregional integration (greater cooperation among the five Central Asian countries), interregional cooperation (between the region and its neighbors), and finally, global integration (the region and the neighborhood becoming part of the larger, global space).

Why is it important?
This paper is the first one to look at a comprehensive strategy of 'open regionalism' for Central Asia - which, if designed well and implemented effectively, would vastly "thin" the "thick borders" that currently hold back the region's growth, prosperity, and socioeconomic development. Earlier work has tended to look at each individual aspects of the issue in a somewhat isolated fashion.
Perspectives
The paper builds on the vast existing work on the subject but adds a uniquely fresh perspective - central Asia's challenge of pursuing economic integration at three distinct, yet, highly intertwined levels - intraregional, interrgional, and global - what is referred to as 'open regionalism' in the paper.
