The Kempir-Abad deal and the evolving regional order in Central Asia amidst the decline of liberal internationalism

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

This paper examines the 2022 Kempir-Abad agreement between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan as an example of informal, executive-led conflict resolution within Central Asia’s evolving post-liberal regional order. It argues that the deal achieved territorial settlement and regional stability through bilateral bargaining, sovereignty-sensitive diplomacy and authoritarian political closure, but at the cost of transparency, public participation and democratic accountability.
