From COVID on: Testing Resilience in Central Asia
Thu, June 4th, 2020

Like the rest of the world, Central Asian states and societies are being stress-tested by the COVID-19 pandemic. Can they withstand the storm? Where can one expect disruptions or fissures, and to what extent is persistence and muddling through possible?
