Assoc. Prof. Dr. Deniz Dinç, Chair of the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Altınbaş Cyprus University, presented his research at the Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS) Regional Conference 2026, hosted by Nazarbayev University in Astana, Kazakhstan, from 16–19 June 2026.
In his presentation, titled “Beyond Top-Down and Bottom-up: Nation-Building and Hegemony in Post-Soviet Kazakhstan,” Dr. Dinç examined the processes of nation-building and the dynamics of hegemony in post-Soviet Kazakhstan, offering a new analytical perspective that goes beyond state-centered and society-centered approaches.
We congratulate our academic on successfully representing Altınbaş Cyprus University on the international stage and wish him continued success in his scholarly endeavors.
