Central Asia Resources

[Guest guest]

SUBJECT: Central Asia Resources

FROM: John Schoeberlein, Harvard/ICG/CESS

TO: Dominik Wujastyk

 

 

Dear Dominik Wujastyk:

 

I am writing to people who are interested and involved in Central

Asia/Central Eurasia, to bring to your attention four important resources

focused on this region, which may interest you.

 

 

1) The International Crisis Group's Central Asia Project.

 

This project is producing a series of reports on topics related to the

potential for conflict in Central Asia, with a special focus on specific

actions that can be taken to reduce this risk. The reports are available

on the web at http://www.crisisweb.org/ -- one was recently published on

growing Islamism, and a new report will appear this week on local economic

crises and social unrest. To be included on the list to receive these

reports (at no cost) or to receive notification when new reports appear,

write to <ICG-CAP or visit:

http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~casww/ICG-CAP.html

 

 

2) The Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS).

 

CESS is a new and rapidly growing scholarly association aimed at fostering

communication and high standards of scholarship in the social sciences and

humanities focused on Central Eurasia. Among its other activities, CESS

holds an Annual Conference (it is not too late to submit your abstract for

the next CESS conference, 11-14 Oct. 2001 in Madison, Wisconsin -- contact:

Uli Schamiloglu <uschamil), and has just issued a Call

for Contributions for its new publication, the Central Eurasian Studies

Review (for information, contact: Virginia Martin

<martinvi). For information on CESS membership, the Annual

Meeting or CESR, visit: http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/

 

 

3) The CentralAsia-L Announcement List for Central Asia Studies.

 

CentralAsia-L distributes concise information about conferences,

publications, jobs, grant opportunities, programs and other resources and

opportunities in Central Asian studies. Members receive the information

via e-mail free of charge. With ca. 3,000 rs worldwide, it is one

of the most widely d lists of its kind. Postings average about

2-3 per day -- just the key information to keep you up-to-date in this

field. For information, to , or to post information, write to:

CentralAsia-L, or visit the webpage/archive at:

http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~casww/CASWW_CentralAsia-L.html

 

 

4) <Central Asian Studies World Wide> website.

 

This web resource contains a wide range of information relevant to the

study of Central Asia, ranging from recent dissertations, experts, scholars

and institutions in Central Asian studies world wide, publications,

Internet resources, and much more. Here you can find out about a broad

range of other resources, including the Ferghana-Valley discussion list,

the AnthEurasia discussion list (for anthropology of the former Soviet

Bloc), and the Central-Asia-Inst-List (for discussion of

institution-building in Central Asian studies). Visit <CASWW> at:
