On November 2, 2026, R. Dosmadyarov, a second-year doctoral student in the Political Science educational program, conducted an open class for master's students as part of the course "Integration Processes in World Politics." The class was held as part of his teaching practice in an online format via Microsoft Teams. Y.L. Nechayeva, Candidate of Political Sciences and Professor at the Department of Political Science, attended the session.

The discussion focused on current trends in integration across the Asia-Pacific region, ASEAN's role in regional cooperation, the development of trade and economic associations, and Kazakhstan's prospects for participation in integration processes. Particular consideration was given to the transit potential of the Middle Corridor, the development of the Khorgos Dry Port, and cooperation among states within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA).

During the discussion, master's students analyzed key challenges to regional integration, including economic contradictions, territorial disputes, and growing geopolitical competition between the United States and China. The practical part of the class focused on modeling scenarios of international cooperation and assessing state strategies amid the transformation of the global political system.
