Global Perspectives Lecture Series - David Merkel, the former Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs at the U.S. Department of State
We hosted David Merkel, the former Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. Within the ‘Global Perspectives Lecture Series (GPLS)’ we discussed how current power dynamics and the effects of these shifts reshape the balance in the South Caucasus region. While touching upon the key outcomes of the Second Karabakh War, he talked about the role of Baku in implementation of large infrastructure projects. It was a very thought-provoking discussion featuring the questions of the guest experts and the students.
