Research translation and implementation: a bi-directional continuum

Menzies Health Institute Queensland Optimising Health Outcomes Program Seminar with Prof Allan Cripps AO and Prof Andrea Marshall.

Griffith Asia Institute Research Seminar: Political economy of financial reforms in authoritarian transition economies: A comparative analysis of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan

Alexandr Akimov examines financial reforms in two countries of post-communist Central Asia, which share common Soviet past, have close geographical location, cultural, language and religious ties - Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Yet, their approach to economic reform was rather different. As a consequence, outcomes of those reforms varied. The difference is especially noticeable in the aftermath of the global financial crisis (GFC).
