New brief on Kazakhstan

ISPI just published my brief on recent violence in Zhanaozen, Kazakhstan and its implications for political stability and Nazarbayev succession. It can be seen at http://www.ispionline.it/it/documents/PB_217_2012.pdf

Another analytic publication contributed

In August I published another article with Central Asia and Caucasus Analyst (cacianalyst.org), discussing the failed coup attempt by Urmat Baryktabasov against the background of failing transitional government in Kyrgyzstan. You can access it here: http://www.cacianalyst.org/?q=node/5386
