They drew on the best research available in the social sciences and humanities, including geography, anthropology, sociology, religious studies, and economics. They also sought to elucidate the present in terms of Xinjiang\u2019s entire relevant past, as analyzed by modern historians. The Xinjiang Project began in 1998, well before the events of 11 September 2001. It was instigated by Sinologist Robert Oxnam and Frederick Starr, along with Ambassador Nicholas Platt, president of The Asia Society, and several other friends who were traveling in Xinjiang with The Asia Society, among them Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kepper, Rajbir Malkani, Nancy Hawe, and others. The timing could not have been better. Over the previous two decades a strong cadre of younger scholars interested in Xinjiang had emerged in the West, mainly in the United States. They know all the relevant languages, whether Uyghur, Mandarin, Russian, or more arcane tongues, modern and ancient. Moreover, they all bring solid grounding in their disciplines, as well as considerable field experience in Xinjiang. Their research constitutes the most solid contribution of twentieth century western scholarship to the study of any part of Central Asia. 2 The Xinjiang Problem The Xinjiang Project was conceived as a two-part exercise. The first was designed to produce a single collaborate volume that would provide educated non-specialists in many countries with an authoritative introduction to the territory and its people, past and present. That volume, entitled Xinjiang: China\u2019s Muslim Frontier, is being published by M.E. Sharpe as the first of the Central AsiaCaucasus Institute\u2019s Monograph Series, in December, 2003. The book, Xinjiang: China\u2019s Muslim Frontier, neither makes nor implies recommendations on future policy to any government or institution. Those tasks were carefully set aside and assigned to a second and entirely separate work that would discuss the geopolitical implications of the research, draw conclusions, and offer policy recommendations for national governments and international bodies. These are the goals of this monograph. The two authors are solely responsible for the contents of this paper. While they draw on the work of their colleagues on The Xinjiang Project, the specific use to which they put the data and the conclusions they draw from them are their own. Interested readers may want to consult Xinjiang: China\u2019s Muslim Frontier itself for more detailed discussions of many of the issues touched on herein. The Table of Contents is appended to this paper in lieu of a bibliography. The Xinjiang Project would not have been possible without the steadfast support of the Henry Luce Foundation of New York. The Vice-President of that foundation and its Program Director for Asia, Mr. Terrill E. Lautz, is himself a highly qualified student of China and his colleague, Ms. Helena Kolenda, Program Officer for Asia, also The Xinjiang Problem 3 brings years of first-hand experience in the field. Their deft guidance, intelligent advice, and notable patience helped make The Xinjiang Project a rewarding experience for all participants. We warmly thank them both.<\/p>\n<p>Graham E. Fuller S.
