Generational Change and Leadership Succession in Uzbekistan

This 2006 conference in Washington, D.C., explored generational differences in Uzbekistan, their potential impact on political succession, and the attendant implications for U.S. policy toward Uzbekistan. Panelists sought to identify defining events and experiences shaping the worldviews of the 25 to 50 generational age cohort in Uzbekistan, demarcate political generations, and identify influences on the current and future political leaderships in Uzbekistan.
