PUBL.- Yaacov Ro'i (Ed.), Democracy and Pluralism in Muslim Eurasia

The Cummings Center of Tel Aviv University is pleased to announce the
publication of Volume 19 in the Cummings Center Series:

Yaacov Ro'i, ed., Democracy and Pluralism in Muslim Eurasia

This book is devoted to the study and analysis of the prospects for
democracy among the Muslim ethnicities of the Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS), both those that acquired full independence and
those remaining within the Russian Federation. Its purpose is to look at
these nations' traditions and present conduct in order to try to decide
whether, being Muslim, they constitute a category unto themselves or
whether their lot is simply characteristic of that of all the former
Soviet peoples.

The authors are in part Western academics and in part scholars from the
Muslim countries and regions of the CIS. In this volume they analyze the
politics of a region which, since 11 September 2001 and the formation of
the US-led international coalition against the Taliban and al-Qaida, has
become a major focus of global attention.
