SUBJECT: Central Asia Resources
FROM: John Schoeberlein, Harvard/ICG/CESS
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 <[log in to unmask]> 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 <[log in to unmask]>), and has just issued a Call
for Contributions for its new publication, the Central Eurasian Studies
Review (for information, contact: Virginia Martin
<[log in to unmask]>). 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 subscribers worldwide, it is one
of the most widely subscribed 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 subscribe, or to post information, write to:

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:
