The aim of this study was to identify the specific features and effectiveness of U.S. geopolitical strategies in Central Asia in the context of the transformation of the international system. The research employed methods of comparative analysis and SWOT analysis. An examination of U.S. foreign policy strategies in Central Asia between 2000 and 2025 revealed that the evolution of American policy in the region contributed to the partial strengthening of institutional mechanisms and the development of civil society in several countries. In the context of growing geopolitical turbulence, the U.S. faces the necessity of rethinking its role in the region. The findings suggest that further U.S. presence may be effective only if it is accompanied by a comprehensive modernisation of the strategic approach, greater attention to the internal priorities of Central Asian states, and the establishment of balanced, pragmatic forms of partnership.
