On June 25, StrategEast presented its flagship Westernization Report 2025, prepared with the support of Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, to the staff of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI), providing a comprehensive overview of the latest geopolitical and economic transformations in the Eurasian region.
The session was chaired by Frank C. Bracco, Country Director for Moldova at TBI, and featured a presentation by StrategEast President Anatoly Motkin, who outlined the report’s key findings and offered strategic insights into how countries in the post-Soviet space are recalibrating their global alliances in response to shifting regional dynamics.
Representing StrategEast alongside Anatoly Motkin were Hanna Myshko, Regional Director for the Gulf States, Ukraine, and Moldova, and Lidia Shavlo, Chief Analyst. The Tony Blair Institute was represented by members of its Southern & Eastern Europe Teams, Geopolitics Team, and Brussels office.
The Westernization Report 2025 analyzes the evolving geopolitical landscape more than three years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It highlights how Eurasian nations are increasingly moving away from traditional spheres of influence and adopting more balanced and diversified foreign policy strategies. The report delves into key developments such as Armenia’s pivot toward the U.S., Kazakhstan’s nuclear diplomacy, and Moldova’s closely contested EU referendum—trends that reflect the region’s growing desire for autonomy and alignment with global democratic and economic frameworks.This engagement marked a valuable exchange of perspectives on Eurasia’s future direction and reaffirmed StrategEast’s commitment to fostering informed dialogue between leading global institutions and regional stakeholders.
