Central Eurasian Studies Review

Beginning in 2002, the Central Eurasian Studies Society started a publication named The Central Eurasian Studies Review (CESR). The publication was a scholarly review of research, resources, conferences, events, publications and developments in scholarship and teaching on Central Eurasia. The Central Eurasian Studies Review consisted of four sections: Perspectives, Research Reports, Conferences and Lecture Series, and Educational Resources and Developments. Two or three issues per year were published between 2002 and 2009. The last issue was Volume 8 No. 1 (Spring 2009).

Print copies were distributed to CESS members, and the journal was also published on the CESS website. This journal is no longer in publication, but back issues are available online on this webpage.

Throughout its existence, Virginia Martin served as the the Chief Editor of the journal, and the University of Wisconsin's Center for Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia (CREECA) served as the institutional host. The review was a product of the volunteer contributions of the members of CESS, and in particular, the CESR Editorial Staff.
