The Impact of Events in the Arab World on Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Turkey, Part II

On April 18 CACI offered a program on “Impact of Events in the Arab World on Central Asia, the Caucasus and Turkey” featuring US diplomats and experts. On April 26 we return to the same subject, this time with analyses and views from seven rising leaders from Central Asia and the Caucasus, CACI’s current Rumsfeld Fellows.

Rebirth of domino theories following the upheavals that began in Tunisia and Egypt were first applied to other Arab countries. What are the arguments for and against such a hypothesis as it applies to the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus? The purpose of this session will be to gain fresh perspectives from young opinion leaders from the region on how their respective states and publics are responding to the Arab events including the likely course of developments in each one.

Central Asia-Caucasus Institute’s spring 2011 Rumsfeld Fellows:
Azis Abakirov, Kyrgyz Republic; Levan Dolidze, Georgia; Fidan Huseynli, Azerbaijan; Kairat Karmanov and Gaukhar Kassymzhanova, Kazakhstan; Mashbat Otgonbayar, Mongolia; Makhbub Radzhabboev, Tajikistan, and Elyor Rakhmanov, Uzbekistan
