ajiss-1646	Kalyoncu, Mehmet	Uzbekistan and the United States: Authoritarianism, Islamism & Washington’s Security Agenda by Shahram Akbarzadeh (London: Zed Books, 2005. 165 pages.)	2006.0	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1070	34	36	Despite the fact that this book was written before this event, Shahram Akbarzadeh’s Uzbekistan and the United States: Authoritarianism, Islamism & Washington’s Security Agenda articulates quite well how Karimov came to the point where he could find the courage to become increasingly authoritarian despite Uzbekistan’s bad record of human rights abuses and failed democratic reforms. He argues that the common threat of Islamist extremism has brought the United States and Uzbekistan together and has become a pretext for the latter to continue its repressive policies, which have caused Uzbekistan’s human rights and democratization records to falter even further.	cache/ajiss-1646.pdf	txt/ajiss-1646.txt
