Important event co-organized by @capsunlock_org & @dgapev in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Stimulating discussions about EU - Central Asia connectivity against the background of geopolitical shifts, invasion of Ukraine, sanctions, and China
Right now, @meistefan1 is kicking off our joint closed-door conference with @capsunlock_org in 🇰🇿 on EU-Central Asia relations in a new geopolitical environment. During the day, we will explore the region & its ties to the 🇪🇺 together with experts from the #EU & #CentralAsia.
With Turkey expanding its influence across the Caspian Sea, I argue that it is in the EU’s interest to strengthen the dialogue on foreign and security issues with Ankara.
As Russian influence in Central Asia wanes, Turkey’s is on the rise, writes Johan Engvall. ow.ly/OysF30sGo4s
How to make EU eastern policy fit for a geopolitical world?
Start by initiating a Trans-Caspian Partnership in place of the now defunct Eastern Partnership.
My latest for @NewEastEurope
EU leaders’ decision to start accession negotiations with Moldova and Ukraine has put the final nail in the coffin of the Eastern Partnership which was never designed to handle enlargement. The time is therefore ripe for a geopolitically more assertive EU to geographically reimagine and thematically widen its Eastern policy. Substituting the obsolete Eastern Partnership for a new Trans-Caspian Partnership could be the solution. In the South Caucasus and Central Asia, the desire to forge closer ties with the EU has increased following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

In trying to do so much to disrupt EU integration the Russian state has ended up drawing the EU much deeper into what Russian elites consider as their sphere than if Russia had left the EU alone in the first place.

A Russian victory over Ukraine would have grave implications not only on the post-Soviet region. Conversely, a Ukrainian achievement of just peace will have stabilizing effects far beyond Eastern Europe.

Russia begins its response to Ukraine's incursion into Kursk. Multiple ministries are involved and the command structure is still forming. Someone in Ukraine knew what they were doing and exploited a weak seam in Russian C2. A few important issues to watch: 🧵

Russia usually reacts slowly because of its extreme centralization. Putin himself needs to decide & he tends to do so slowly.

Dans les faits, le PO original s’est effondré, la ligne de démarcation nette entre le Caucase du Sud et l’Asie centrale se dissout rapidement, et une véritable dynamique transcaspienne émerge.

Ten years ago, the Russo-Ukrainian War, which had begun with Russia’s occupation of Crimea, became a large violent armed conflict.

Opening accession negotiations with Moldova & Ukraine marked a new era for the EU’s Eastern policy. It put the final nail in the coffin of the Eastern Partnership, which was never designed to handle enlargement.

Super interesting read by @PaoloBottleneck about oil, foreign investor, and the Kazakh state!
The Eastern Partnership is dead, long live the Trans-Caspian Partnership.
My thoughts on a new Eastern Policy of the EU.
