Dean’s Lecture Series Announcement
Join us this Monday at 14:00 for the next session in the Dean’s Series of Lectures by Bakyt Tolegenov:
“”Unintended Consequences of Strategic Decision-Making: The Case of Kazakhstan’s Strategic Response to China’s Belt and Road Initiative””
In this thought-provoking workshop, we’ll explore how strategic decisions in international economic cooperation often lead to unexpected outcomes, both positive and challenging. Using Kazakhstan’s engagement with China’s BRI as a case study, the session will unpack real examples of opportunities and difficulties that emerged from key policy choices.
Key themes:
Why unintended consequences occur
How surprises reshape cooperation
Strategies to manage uncertainty and unlock unexpected benefits
Open to all students, faculty, and staff. Don’t miss this chance to reflect on decision-making in complex, uncertain environments.
