Editor's note

Afghanistan is considered by some to be part of Central Asia and by others to be part of South Asia. By either categorization, Afghanistan is an inevitable part of developments concerning Central and South Asia, and therefore also features in this guide

Bordering states, particularly China and Iran, fall outside both conceptual and geographical categories but invariably figure in these articles due to their important role in international politics, diplomacy and trade.
