Turkmenistan is a closed, autocratic Central Asian nation with a long, porous border with Afghanistan. It has been reported that Turkmenistan has the fifth largest natural gas reserves in the world, and a horrific human rights record.
This CNL discussion focuses on Turkmenistan's human rights concerns, the ethics of political and economic engagement with despotic regimes, and U.S. ambitions in Turkmenistan and Central Asia.
