Abstract :

This  article  analyses  the  water  security  problems  in  Central  Asia  by comparing  Kazakhstan’s  and  Uzbekistan’s  policy  regarding  the  Aral  Sea.  As one  of  the  perpetual  problem  in  Central  Asia,  the  condition  of  freshwater resources in the Aral Sea has been worsening for the last decades. Efforts by governments  were  isolated  and  unorganised.  Both  the  Kazakhstan  and  the Uzbek  government,  which  had  their  own  share  of  the  problem,  had  been unable to cooperate on this issue. This article tries to elaborate the problem by using the theory on securitisation process, regional security complex, and the patterns  of  amity-enmity.  This  research  finds  that  while  the  amity-enmity patterns  was  absent,  the  differing  process  of  securitisation  (in  Kazakhstan) and de-securitisation (in Uzbekistan) had forced both states to embark on their own strategies and policies regarding the Aral Sea.
