A ceremony to launch a first international publication in South Caucasus, Caucasus International academic magazine, has been held in Azerbaijan`s capital.
Caucasus International is a Baku & Ankara-based academic journal that discusses policymaking in and on the Caucasus as well as the region`s role in the global context.
Caucasus International has been published since 2007 by the Ankara-based Eurasian Association of Scientists in collaboration with the Center for Strategic Studies (CSS) in Baku.
The magazine is aimed fostering an intellectual forum for contemplative dialogue and meaningful involvement in as broad a community as possible. Each issue will focus on a global or regional theme and will include perspectives from authors of different countries and backgrounds. The journal will focus largely on the Caucasus neighborhood, but will do so within a global context. The journal welcomes lucid, well documented papers on other countries and regions including especially Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, Russia, Europe, and the United States, as well as on all aspects of international affairs, from all political viewpoints. The magazine`s key goal is to foster stimulating dialogue and exchange of ideas on the Caucasus and beyond among practitioners, researchers and theorists from the region itself and abroad.
The launch ceremony was attended by state and government officials, representatives of the diplomatic corps and offices of international organizations, MPs, scholars, educational figures, journalists, representatives of NGOs, and local and foreign experts.
