Virtual Event (free)
This panel on “Turkey and Central Eurasia” is the first in a series of inquiries sponsored by several MSU centers and programs into “The Geopolitics and Economics of Central Eurasia and Its Neighbors.” Future panels will look at China, Russia, Europe and other external actors to explore trans-regional relationships and interactions, as China’s Belt and Road Initiative plays out, Russia seeks to regain dominant influence over former Soviet regions in its “near abroad,” and Turkey seeks to unite the Turkic language speaking world in what some have termed “Neo-Ottomanism.”
Speakers:
- Hannah Lucinda Smith, author of Erdogan Rising: The Battle for the Soul of Turkey
- Norm Graham & Timur Kocaoglu (Michigan State University), co-authors of Making Russia and Turkey Great Again?: Putin and Erdogan in Search of Lost Empires and Autocratic Power
- Moderator: Emine Evered, Michigan State University
This event is sponsored and made possible by:
Broad College International Business Center, Asian Studies Center, and Center for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies, Michigan State University
The event will be held virtually via Zoom. Preregistration is required.
