520    There are links between food security and political 
       stability as was evident during the world food crisis of 
       2007-08. Food riots were witnessed in a number of 
       countries contributing to political instability. There are
       a number of dimensions to the problem of food insecurity 
       in Tajikistan. This book is an attempt to fill the 
       academic void on Tajikistan, especially pertaining to its 
       food security. This work traces the history of agriculture
       and food production in Tajikistan from the mid-19th 
       century when it came under Russian rule. From its 
       inception, Tajikistan has been facing the 'geographic 
       handicap' as it is a mountainous country and only 7 
       percent of the total land is arable which limits its food 
       production. This book is a detailed study of how Soviet 
       economic geography introduced intensive cotton cultivation
       in Tajikistan at the expense of food crops. Soviet 
       economic planners felt that a region with a hot climate 
       and large water resources should not attempt to grow 
       grains but cotton. In the contemporary context, this book 
       focuses on how the state and international actors have 
       responded to the food insecurity in Tajikistan. Most 
       importantly, the book also analyses the relationship 
       between food security and political stability in 
       Tajikistan.
