Crime and Ethnicity" - Call for contributions
The third thematic issue (September 2001) of Ab Imperio, the journal
dedicated to academic debate on history and theory of nationalities
and nationalism in former Russian Empire/Soviet Union/Russian
Federation will be devoted to the general topic "Crime and
Ethnicity". AI currently invites contributions to its regular
sections "Methodology and Theory", "History", "Political Science and
Sociology". Among the areas of interest for the issues are both
victimization of minorities as "naturally-born criminals" and the
real existence of ethnic organized crime (Gypsies, Jews, "Caucasian
Nationality" etc.)
Information about AI can be found on the web site at
http://aimag.knet.ru (including the table of contents of the second
issue and the full electronic version of the first issue). The new
journal is a joint venture of young professionals holding
simultaneously Russian and Western degrees, who try to establish a new
field of studies in the post-USSR humanities and bring together
regional and foreign scholars.
