Caucasus International

About this book

Caucasus International is a Baku & Ankara-based academic journal that discusses policymaking in and on the Caucasus as well as the region’s role in the global context. Each issue of the journal will focus on a global or regional theme and includes perspectives from authors from different countries and backgrounds. The journal focuses largely on the Caucasus neighborhood, but does so with a global outlook. At the moment, the agenda of the international community is focused on Middle Eastern the “Arab Spring” is high on the priority list. In the Caucasus, local analysts worry about renewed large-scale conflict. There is a pervasive perception that the region has entered a sort of “Caucasus Winter,” as relations have cooled among key players. Mindful that the unexpected is always lurking in this part of the world, the contributors to this first issue of CI address a broad range of challenges that are likely to arise in the coming months and years.
