Aims and Scope

Eurasian countries are among the most rapidly and drastically changing places since the collapse of the former Soviet Union. From
the year of 1991 on, the demise of the colossus has brought seemingly unlimited and far-flung turmoil among all social spheres on
the Eurasian continent. The Journal of Eurasian Studies focuses on Eurasian studies in general, and on the following seven hot issues
in particular: National Identity, Political and Economic Transition, Migration Issues, Energy Problems, International Development
and ODA (official development assistance), Culturology, and History of Everyday Life. In doing this, the Journal of Eurasian Studies
internationalizes local concerns within Eurasian communities and beyond the various Asian civilizations in more cross-regional
perspectives. In its true meaning of international relationships, the Journal of Eurasian Studies thus accomplishes it’s primary
goal presenting a nexus as transnational aspects of the Eurasian issues.
