This year’s yearbook is comprised of 18 contributions that have been organised into five sections. In the first two sections, ‘Hegemony, or the Lack Thereof?’ and ‘Looking for Friends’, our authors attempt to understand the evolving power dynamics of Central Asia, and the region’s quest for connections further afield, respectively. In the third and fourth sections, ‘The Challenge of Climate Change’ and ‘Learning, Working, Communicating’, they explore several of the challenges and opportunities that Central Asia is currently facing, ranging from the environment’s impact on labour migration to the scale, depth and quality of digitalisation across the region. Finally, in the fifth section, ‘China in the OSCE’s Backyard’, our authors explore the implications of the ongoing emergence of the People’s Republic of China for India, Pakistan and, somewhat indirectly, the United States of America.
