Conference on Central Asia, Turkey and the Caucasus
Published 2009-09-16
STINT cordially invites you to attend the international conference "Creating a knowledge platform on Central Asia, Turkey and the Caucasus".
The conference will reflect current research on these regions. Emphasis will be placed on extending knowledge about the region, as well as the possibility of building contacts and expertise. How can we build and strengthen Swedish research environments? How can we create new cooperations and networks between Swedish and international researchers?
The conference is part of STINT’s ongoing work to encourage increased knowledge and research about Central Asia, Turkey and the Caucasus.
The program will center on two broad themes:
- Societies in Transition – history, language and identity
- Geopolitics and Economy – policy, strategy and development
The idea is that we will raise issues that concern democracy, human rights, democratization, strategies for modernization, minorities, history, religion, ethnicity, identity, language and other related fields.
A host of international experts will be in attendance to give keynotes, and act as commentators. These include:
- Professor Frederick Starr, Johns Hopkins University, USA
- Professor Richard Pomfret, University of Adelaide, Australia
- Dr Matteo Fumagalli, Central European University, Hungary
- Dr Siddharth Saxena, Cambridge Central Asia Forum, UK
- Dr Timur Dadabaev, University of Tsukuba, Japan
