Central Asia at the Crossroads: Battleground of Insecurity or Bridge to Prosperity?

Join us for an engaging lecture with Professor Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh that explores the competing forces shaping Central Asia's future - from great-power rivalries and internal challenges, to the hopes of its people. Will the region become a battleground of insecurity, caught between Russia, China, and the West, facing climate stress, economic fragility, and even the revival of ISIS and other extremist threats? Or on the contrary, will Central Asia turn its geography into an asset, becoming a bridge of prosperity that connects Europe and Asia through trade, energy, and cultural revival?
