Central Asian Perceptions of Great Powers: A Prototype for the Post-Unipolar World

July 21, 2020, 1:00-1:45pm
Online (Facebook Live)

Join the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute for an online talk with Marlene Laruelle and Bradley Jardine on how Central Asia perceives Russia, China and the U.S.

Central Asia may serve as a prototype for the post-unipolar world. Indeed, three great powers--Russia, China, and the U.S.--all have varying degrees of interest in the region. How do ordinary citizens of Central Asia view these great power players? How will opinions change in the coming years?

Speakers aim to explore Central Asia's multivectoral policies, the Sino-Russian relationship and the loss of influence of the U.S. in the region.

The event will be streamed on Facebook Live.

Speakers:

Marlene Laruelle, associate director and research professor, Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies, Elliott School of International Affairs; director, Central Asia Program, The George Washington University; co-director, PONARS 

Bradley Jardine, Schwarzman Fellow, Kissinger Institute on China and the United States, The Wilson Center
