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 six hot issues in particular:• National Identity• Political and Economic Transition• Democratization and Marketization• Migration• Energy Problems• and, International Development and ODA (official development assistance).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 its primary goal presenting a nexus as transnational aspects of the Eurasian issues.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
