Special Event | The Crisis in Kazakhstan
Date: 2022-02 [2]
Watch
The unprecedented unrest roiling the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan—which is home to some of the world’s largest oil reserves and borders both Russia and China—is raising concerns about stability and shifting power balances in the region. Protests triggered by a rise in fuel prices have surged across the country, prompting the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization to deploy troops to the country—the first time in the history of the alliance that its protection clause has been invoked.
On Thursday, January 13, CNAS hosted a special event on the situation in Kazakhstan with experts on Central Asia and Russia. With an already fragile region now at risk of further instability, how should the U.S. and the West respond?
