For the first time on our channel — an in-depth analytical discussion on Central Asia and Eurasia with Dr. Theodore Karasik, one of the most influential Western experts on regional security and Eastern geopolitics.Who is Dr. Karasik?
Senior Advisor at Gulf State Analytics (USA) — a key research center on the Middle East and Eurasia, providing strategic consulting to both businesses and government entities.
Expert at the Jamestown Foundation (Washington DC) — a major think tank shaping U.S. foreign policy assessments on the post-Soviet space and the Caucasus.
Research Fellow at New Lines Institute (USA) — a leading institution focused on global conflicts, Islamic movements, and international security.
Contributor to Arab News, Eurasia Review, and Modern Diplomacy, and a frequent participant in expert panels on the Middle East, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
“We were taught that Central Asia is the backyard of Russia and China. Dr. Karasik demonstrates that in the new world order, this region is becoming the northern frontline of the Persian Gulf. Whoever builds the corridors will redraw the map of Eurasia.”
Key Strategic Takeaways from the Interview:
The Persian Gulf expands into Eurasia through economic investments, governance models, and infrastructure development.
China is integrating into the Middle Corridor, but simultaneously faces growing pressure from Gulf powers and Western actors.
The Fergana Valley is no longer an epicenter of open conflict thanks to border agreements, but the risk of radicalization remains.
The Afghan question is shifting from a security threat to a logistics factor — Central Asian states are building pragmatic relations with the Taliban.
A battle of narratives is underway in the Islamic world, where cultural reform is overcoming politicized Islam.
The key trend: Central Asia is adopting the sustainable governance model of the Gulf States as a blueprint for modernization.
