Step into our Yurt and join us for a monthly conversation on Europe-Central Asia developments. In these series of podcasts EUCAM welcomes 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. In the tenth episode Yelena and Jos talk about the concept of strategic autonomy and how it might apply to Central Asia together with Nargis Kassenova, senior fellow and director of the Program on Central Asia at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies (Harvard University).
