中亚丰富的资源、独特的地缘位置和错综复杂的安全形势使该地区一直备受学界关注。2013年，中亚国家继续推进政治改革，安全形势总体稳定。俄美安全博弈仍在继续，中亚国际关系格局出现一定变化。“三股势力”的沉渣泛起使中亚的反恐形势难以乐观，这对中国周边安全带来巨大挑战。中国以上海合作组织为战略依托，加强各成员国间的密切合作，以有效打击“三股势力”。
Central Asia is a focused region in the academic circle for its abundant resources，unique geopolitical position and complex security situation. In 2013，the Central Asian countries continue to promote political reform and the security situation is generally stable. Whereas the Russia-US security game is still going on，the pattern of international relations in Central Asia has changed. The reemergence of “Three Evil Forces” makes it hard to be optimistic on anti-terrorism situation in Central Asia，which is a huge challenge to China’s perimeter security. China depends on the Shanghai Cooperation Organization （SCO），strengthening the close cooperation between the member states in order to effectively combat the “Three Evil Forces”.
