Eurasian Integration: A Partnership Lost in Translation

Jan. 25, 2018, 3:00-4:30pm
6th Floor, Woodrow Wilson Center, One Woodrow Wilson Plaza, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington, DC

Join the Wilson Center's Abraham Denmark, Matthew Rojansky, and Robert Daly for a discussion on the future of Russia and China's plans for a better connected Eurasia.

The gradual integration of Eurasia through infrastructure may be one of the great stories of the coming decades. Some investments have been made. Track has been laid. Some harbors are being expanded. Regional powers have disparate visions for the goals and procedures of this vast undertaking, however, and historic suspicions may hamper the sort of regional cooperation that Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin seem to envision. Matthew Rojansky and Robert Daly, recently returned from visits to China, Russia and Central Asia, will share their observations and suggest what they might mean for the United States going forward.

Panelists:

Abraham Denmark, Director, Wilson Center Asia Program

Matthew Rojansky, Director, Wilson Center Kennan Institute

Robert Daly, Director, Wilson Center Kissinger Institute on China and the United States
