Senior Researcher at the Center for Regional Analysis at the National Analytical Center, a subsidiary of Nazarbayev University. She holds a master’s degree in Regional Studies (Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia) from Harvard University. Her research interests include the political economy of Central Asia, regional integration, and the development of water, energy, and transport infrastructure in the region.
As global powers vie for resources, including critical minerals in the region, Central Asia must assert its agency, shaping a development trajectory that turns what could be a resource curse into a lasting blessing.
