APPROACHES TO HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY IN FOREIGN SOURCES: A CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVES
Keywords:
historical geography, foreign sources, 1945–present, spatial analysis, Central Asia, interdisciplinary methods, memory and identity.Abstract
This article explores foreign approaches to historical geography in the modern period, focusing from 1945 to the present. It examines how theoretical frameworks and interdisciplinary methods have developed over time, especially in response to global changes such as the Cold War, decolonization, and post-Soviet transformations. Central Asia is included as a regional case study that reflects broader global historical-geographical patterns. The article also evaluates limitations in foreign literature and proposes directions for future research.
