This workshop will critically and comparatively examine the European Union’s and Central Asia’s bilateral and multilateral relations. Contributors will discuss regional and cross-regional challenges, interregional interdependence and connectivity, as well as soft and smart power issues. The workshop’s goals are to propose some recommendations for improving relations between the EU and Central Asia, and foster academic partnership in the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary study of diversity issues and challenges. 

The workshop is jointly organised by Michael Kaeding (Institute of Political Science, University of Duisburg-Essen) and Mirzokhid Rakhimov (Contemporary History Center of the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences), who is currently a Senior Fellow at the College for Social Sciences and Humanities.
