Few people from outside emerging Europe have witnessed more changes in the region than Craig Turp, who has lived and worked across Central and Eastern Europe for almost 25 years, first for travel guide publisher In Your Pocket and for the past three years as editor of Emerging Europe.

In this edition of Emerging Europe Talks, Turp speaks with Andrew Wrobel about how the region's transition has been uneven, and how emerging Europe is often portrayed far too subjectively in the international media. He also discusses the importance of partnership and collaboration between all of the region's stakeholders, from both inside and outside emerging Europe.
