Central Asia and the Caucasus
The new analytical journal 'Central Asia and the Caucasus' (in English) will be published six times a year, and each issue will be 200-220 pages long. We have official representatives throughout Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus, as well as in the Russian Federation, the U.S.A., Canada, the Middle East, Germany, and Ukraine. This extensive network enables the editorial board to provide the pages of the journal with a unique arena for discussing the most urgent problems facing Central Asia, and the Southern and Northern Caucasus.
In particular, readers can acquaint themselves with exclusive information provided by specialists from different countries of the world, as well as with the results of debates on such problems as:
- ethnic conflicts in the Central Asian and Caucasian states, and ways to effect their early warning and settlement;
- the problems involved in and prospects for developing interrelations between the Central Asian and Caucasian states and western countries;
- the problems involved in and prospects for developing interrelations between the Central Asian and Caucasian states and the Russian Federation;
- religion in the socio-political life of Central Asia and the Caucasus;
- a project for restoring the Great Silk Road. The role and value of this project in establishing state independence for the Central Asian and Caucasian republics;
- the special features of building democracy and the institution of private ownership in Central Asia and the Caucasus;
- the problems of interstate integration in Central Asia and the Caucasus;
- the significance of raw material resources in establishing state independence in Central Asia and the Caucasus;
- the problems of state and regional security in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Structurally, the central place in the journal will be occupied by the 'Special Feature' column. This will review one of the most urgent problems being faced at the time the issue comes out, including interpretations by specialists from the states of the region and the West. In the other columns, such as 'Events and Commentaries,' 'Politics and Economics,' 'Religion and Society,' 'Journalism,' and 'Culture, Art and Literature,' our readers will find articles on the most diverse aspects of social life in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
