Central Asian Survey

Central Asian Survey is the only established peer reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal in the world concerned with the history, politics, cultures, religions and economies of the Central Asian and Caucasian regions. These include primarily the republics of former Soviet Central Asia and the South and North Caucasus. Also covered are Chinese Xinjiang, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey.  The central aim of Central Asian Survey is to reflect and promote advances in area-based scholarship in the social sciences and humanities and enhance understanding of processes of local and regional change that make Central Asia and the Caucasus an area of significant contemporary interest.

Beginning in 2007, the journal Central Asian Survey was reorganized under the new editorship of Dr. Deniz Kandiyoti. Through an agreement between the editors, the Central Eurasian Studies Society, and the publisher, Taylor & Francis, all members are now entitled to subscribe at the rate of $40 per year.

We view this as an important step toward CESS’s key goal of supporting publication of peer-reviewed work, and thus raising the standards of scholarship in our field.  We encourage our members to submit their well-polished articles to Central Asian Survey, and we will be actively pursuing ways to further CESS’s goals to promote the strengthening scholarship on Central Eurasia through this publication.  In particular, we will work to facilitate the publication of strong work of scholars in the Central Eurasian region itself in the pages of the journal.  Also, the recipient of the CESS annual Award for Best Graduate Student Paper will be offered the opportunity for publication of the award-winning paper in Central Asian Survey.

Please see the Central Asian Survey page on Taylor & Francis's website to view the journal's contents.
