Dear KIMEP Community,
You are warmly invited to the Online launch of the book ‘The Implications of Ethnic Politics in Post-Socialist States for China’, taking place on Thursday at 16:00 on Zoom.
The launch event will feature presentations and discussions by the book’s editors and contributors:
- Dr. Gulnara Dadabayeva (Editor, Contributor, & Session Chair) Professor, KIMEP University
- Dr. Chi Zhang (Editor & Contributor) Associate Lecturer, University of St Andrews
- Dr. Giulia Sciorati (Contributor) LSE Fellow, London School of Economics
- Dr. Qichao Wang (Contributor) Assistant Professor, Xi’an International Studies University
This book examines the complex and under-explored dynamics of ethnic politics in post-socialist states and their implications for China. While focusing on the political, cultural, and ethnic landscapes of Central Asia and their connections to China, the volume highlights how shared historical legacies and emerging geopolitical realities shape ethnic policies and state relations.
Contributions from scholars based in the UK, Kazakhstan, and China provide a comprehensive analysis of key issues, including the influence of post-Soviet ethnic politics on China’s governance of its own minority regions, the challenges of nation-building, and China’s growing geopolitical presence in Central Asia.
We invite you to join the conversation on:
