- Abstract
This paper argues that the following common patterns help explain the ongoing Islamic revival in Central Asia: (a) "de-modern" and "ethnicized" Islam as an enduring legacy of the Soviet period; (b) penetration of Salafism; (c) securitization of "non-official" Islam by state and non-state actors and (d) the rise of conservative Islam which goes hand in hand with retraditionalization. These factors, in their turn, pose serious challenges to developing inclusive society and human rights in Central Asian countries. This paper argues that the Islamic revival in Central Asian countries has come to the point when it can be analyzed under the prism, whether it impedes the development of inclusive society and human rights or not.
