A Chat in the Yurt, discussing Central Asia and Europe – Episode II
In this second episode we welcome from Kazakhstan Zhanibek Arynov and EUCAM fellow alumna Kamila Smagulova, for a discussion on the ‘future of European Union-Kazakhstan relations’. We are looking into what’s next for Kazakhstan after the re-election of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in the 20 November snap elections. We discuss the renewed attention of the EU in Kazakhstan through its emphasis on connectivity. Lastly, we also talk about the sentiments among citizens, including youth, regarding Russia’s war in Ukraine and the inflow of Russians into Kazakhstan.
Step into our Yurt and join us for a monthly conversation on Europe-Central Asia developments. In this series of podcasts Andreas Marazis and Rashid Gabdulhakov welcome guests from both regions to discuss exciting new research and the latest developments in Europe and Central Asia. Guests range from academics to policymakers and from journalists to civil society activists. What is happening in Europe that Central Asians should know about? What events are unfolding in Central Asia that Europeans should understand? Together, we discuss society trends, political developments, and economic turns while assessing the past and looking ahead to what may unfold.
