SUMMARY:Turkey and Central Eurasian Panel
DESCRIPTION:
 This panel on "Turkey and Central Eurasia" 
 is the first in a series of inquiries 
 sponsored by several MSU centers and programs 
 into "The Geopolitics and Economics of 
 Central Eurasia and Its Neighbors." Future 
 panels will look at China, Russia, Europe 
 and other external actors to explore trans-regional 
 relationships and interactions, as China's 
 Belt and Road Initiative plays out, Russia 
 seeks to regain dominant influence over former 
 Soviet regions in its "near abroad," 
 and Turkey seeks to unite the Turkic language 
 speaking world in what some have termed 
 "Neo-Ottomanism."\n
