Central Asia

The present-day challenges confronting Central Asia are highly likely to persist over the coming years: some internal, others having to do with regional trends and tensions. Following ASPI's project examining the crisis of governance in Central Asia, ASPI has continued to provide a forum for dialogue about how the region can increase security, manage conflicts, strengthen the rule of law, and deepen ties with the rest of Asia.
