Th e transition of the countries in Euro-Asia is one of the most important developments aff ecting the international system since the end of the Cold War. Th e development of market economies after decades of central planning, the formation of new states and national identities, the creation of new, democratic institutions of state and the reintegration into the world economy poses enormous challenges. While some countries have progressed relatively well and are in the process of joining the European Union, others have experienced severe economic and social dislocations, to the point of political disintegration and armed confl icts. Th e Centre for Euro-Asian Studies at the University of Reading is dedicated to the academic study of the political, economic, social and cultural aspects of this process. Th is series presents the most recent contributions from leading academics in the fi eld. With an interdisciplinary focus, it seeks to provide a substantial, original and ongoing contribution to our understanding of the region which is of vital importance for academics and of high policy relevance for governments and businesses.
The purpose of this study is to identify priority areas for international cooperation of Central Asian countries to realize the potential of renewable energy sources (RESs) and increase the efficiency of energy systems. Such scientific methods as literature analysis, comparative analysis, retrospective analysis, as well as the expert assessment method have been used in the study. The results of the study show that the countries of Central Asia have significant potential for the development of renewable energy. In recent years, interest in energy efficiency measures in Central Asia has been growing. Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan consider renewable energy as a way to increase their oil and gas exports, while Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan hope to reduce their dependence on energy imports from neighboring countries. At the same time, despite the enormous potential of RESs, the actual deployment of renewable energy in the region remains low. The transition of the Central Asian countries' energy sector to new forms of energy production with a focus on renewable energy should be carried out in cooperation with countries with the best practices in the field of RES development. International cooperation will support the Central Asian countries in realizing their huge potential for RES and accelerating their pace of transition to renewable energy.
