Book of the week - Silk Mirage: Through the Looking Glass in Uzbekistan, by @joannalillis.bsky.social. In 2002, I travelled across Central Asia, including Uzbekistan (& it was the focus of my MA thesis), so it was great to dive back into an absolutely fascinating country with this great book.

Out online and on the shelves today, my piece for TheEconomist. As #Kazakhstan gears up to vote for a new parliament on Sunday, is this really a political reset, as the president promises, or more of a rebrand of Tokayev's regime to distance it from Nazarbayev? www.economist.com/asia/2026/08...

Voting for renewal, or more of the same? #Kazakhstan holds election featuring no opposition parties, which a pro-presidential party formed only in May will win, against a backdrop of arrests. My piece for The Economist www.economist.com/asia/2026/08...

Kazakhstan prepares to vote in a cosmetic election

Despite promises of renewal, it is still an authoritarian state
