A summary of over a decade of working on this and a first public piece (!!) with Noah, someone with whom I have been working closely for seven years

We all know we live in a polarized world, but what's next? We want to understand how individuals and communities are working to overcome deep divides. If you're working on these issues, check out our small grants program.

"...the US diplomats’ memoirs offer a unique, frank, and fresh take on the history of the region." Can't agree more! Thank you, Nurbek Bekmurzaev and Global Voices!

All this happened in the last 3 months for Chinese decarbonization policy. Can't think of the last time I saw so many major documents released in such a short period time...feels like 2024 is turning out to be a major year for China's energy policy. Quick summary thread: 🧵

If you are in Almaty tomorrow and want to learn about Peter Frankopan’s magisterial book “The Earth Transformed”, join the author and us Central Asian Policy Studies:

Washington and Beijing are strategic narcissists. Often, they refract rule making through the prism of their parochial strategic competition while third countries also set standards and write rules. My latest in Forbes Markets on fragmentation in Asia. forbes.com/sites/evanfeig…

Come and discuss with regional experts trade prospects in #CentralAsia!

И хамско-высокомерное обращение на "ты" очень характерное...

какой же крутой поступок 💔 Журналисты сегодня во время пресс-конференции задавали свои вопросы от имени журналистки Жании Уранкаевой, которой закрыли доступ в дом правительства.

Big congratulations, Maximilian Hess! Very well deserved 👏👏👏

can't keep up with all the new amazing music coming out of Kazakhstan, but I'm floored by SAMRATTAMA. Goosebumps every time I listen youtube.com/watch?v=ne_9Fb…

"China held its first ever public security ministers’ meeting with Central Asia as Beijing looks to protect Belt and Road interests. China’s Minister of Public Security met his counterparts from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan" scmp.com/news/china/dip…

Central Asia Barometer, long a valuable resource to researchers such as myself, says it is suspending operations due to threats. I don’t know anything further about what’s going on but a very worrying development. ca-barometer.org/en/news/cab-st…
