| description | The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the potential for integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with the field of International Relations. GIS, as a crucial tool for spatial analysis, is widely employed in various scientific disciplines, ranging from health to archaeology. Nevertheless, its application in International Relations studies remains underutilized. To address this gap, a case study will be conducted to unite GIS and International Relations, focusing on the Fergana Valley, a region of significance in Central Asian studies. The debate surrounding whether the Fergana Valley presents a security challenge in Central Asia will be explored. This will involve testing for clustering and heterogeneity in conflicts within the region using the autocorrelation method in spatial analysis. Consequently, this study aims to address a key issue in the field and establish a precedent for the utilization of GIS in International Relations studies. Finally, the study will consider which research questions within the realm of International Relations could be addressed through GIS. |
