WHO WE ARE
Eastern Circles is an independent geoeconomics think tank exploring the links between business and government in the post-Soviet region. We analyse companies and government strategies in the energy and security sectors, including market intelligence, company strategy, regulatory environment, and country strategies of using business as means to reach political ends.
Eastern Circles acts as a catalyst between the regional and Western experts, bringing them together through conferences and analytical work. We are an independent non-profit association (1901) and do not represent any state or business interest.
