Energy Security in Central Asia


Wednesday 8 October 2008 14:00 to 15:30

Participants

Martha Olcott, Senior Associate, Russia and Eurasia Program, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Washington, D.C.


Type: Fee-paying or special invitation events

Westward transport of Central Asian hydrocarbons has been the cornerstone of Kazakhstan's remarkable economic growth, as well as having positive effects in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. But the map has been changed and the rules are being rewritten so that 'Central Asia Energy Security' becomes a possible contradiction in terms once more. The speaker will suggest that Russia will remain the main importer of Central Asian gas, underlining its continued strategic presence in the region.

This event is strictly by invitation only.
