On May 03, AUCA hosted a public lecture by Robert Daly on ''U.S. - China Relations: Insights for Central Asia.''

The Central Asian Studies Institute (CASI) and the International and Comparative Politics Department (ICP) continue guest lectures by U.S. Scholars on China. These lectures are sponsored by the American Councils, the Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR), and the U.S. Department of State.

Mr Robert Daly is the director of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States at the Woodrow Wilson Center and a former US Foreign Service officer.

During the lecture, Mr Daly provided an overview of the current state of relations between the United States and China, focusing on their impact on the region. Mr Daly examined the emergence of a potential "cold war" and its potential outcomes and the historical development of relations between the two nations under different presidential administrations. The lecture also addressed the political actions these two nuclear powers took, including the escalation of their technological capabilities. Additionally, the lecture explored the ways in which the status of these relations has affected Central Asian countries and discussed potential steps for establishing a political balance in the region. Mr Daly also drew on historical examples of the Cold War and engaged in a Q&A session with students and professors to provide forecasts and possible scenarios for the development of US-China relations. Finally, the lecture considered the two nations' economic dimensions and how global geopolitical events have contributed to their relations' growth.
