The Politics of Branding Kazakhstan and Qatar with Kristin Eggeling
Summary
In this episode, Kristin Eggeling from the University of Copenhagen talks to Petra Desatova of NIAS about her recently published book Nation-Branding in Practice: The Politics of Promoting Sports, Cities and Universities in Kazakhstan and Qatar (Routledge 2020). How do Kazakstan and Qatar brand themselves to the outside world and their own citizens? What lies behind Kazakstan’s re-branding of its capital city Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana)? And how does one even research this elusive concept of nation branding?
