The Journal of Power Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies #2, 2005.
An electronic journal of social sciences

Web: http://www.pipss.org/

I am pleased to inform you that the second Issue of the Journal of Power
Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies is now online at www.pipss.org.

The Journal of Power Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies is a semesterl=
y
publication devoted to armed forces and power ministries in post-Soviet
societies.

Pipss.org is a multi-disciplinary journal, which addresses issues across=20
a broad
field of disciplines in human and social sciences. Its main objective is =
to
study changes and their underlying mechanisms in post-Soviet republics,=20
through
the analysis of the institutions that remain most hidden from the public=20
eye:
armies and power institutions.

As an electronic journal, pipss.org also aims to promote scholarly=20
debate across
as broad an audience as possible, and make CIS research available to West=
ern
scholars.

An essential aspect of the journal is the establishment of links and=20
comparisons
between research findings concerning the different republics of the CIS, =
in
order to better understand the development of each of them given that=20
they all
share a common past and have continued to share common features. The=20
comparative
dimension of the journal can be reinforced through reference to cultural=20
areas
other than those mainly covered by the journal. Hence, the comparative=20
dimension
must be understood in as wide a sense as possible, extending beyond the=20
borders
of the CIS.

Thanks to its international scientific board drawn from a large pool of=20
leading
academics and experts in their respective fields, it is in a position to=20
become
a leading source of analysis on post-Soviet societies.

The entire issue is available at http://www.pipss.org (Open Access Journa=
l).
