The Cambridge Central Asia Review is an inter-disciplinary peer-reviewed

bi-annual publication. We accept submissions on a wide range of topics 
in Central Asian studies including but not limited to economics, 
politics, literature and cultural studies, sociology, social 
anthropology, history, international relations, education, geography, 
environment, health and development studies. Papers focusing on 
theoretical, empirical or methodological approaches are welcome for 
submission. Each manuscript is individually peer-reviewed and evaluated.

This edition's theme is: "Old Hammer or a New Sickle? Legacy of Soviet 
Era in Central Asia"


Call For Papers

1991 opened up the world order to fifteen newly independent countries 
which included the region of Central Asia and the Republics of 
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. The 
countries of Central Asia found themselves in an integrated and 
increasingly globalised international environment. In 1991 it was 
expected that the Central Asian states would automatically follow the 
western example of governance since the Soviet model had "failed", and 
disregarded the unique history and legacy of the Soviet Union and more 
pertinently its constituent entities. It has been twenty years since 
these countries got independence and their trajectories have shown us 
how as individual countries they have come a long way. However we cannot 
forget that they share a common past, especially the experience of being 
part of the Soviet Union.

This issue of Cambridge Central Asia Reviews is dedicated to just such 
an examination of how the soviet legacy in Central Asia has affected 
and/or influences the trends, policies, trajectories and decisions of 
the independent countries of Central Asia. Thus, we are seeking papers 
on a wide range of debates and topics concerning the Soviet legacy in 
post-Soviet Central Asia with a special focus on local theorization and 
examination by regional theorists, philosophers, writers etc.

As an interdisciplinary journal we welcome original works in historical, 
economic, social, political, international, theoretical and empirical 
contributions. Scholars are welcome to submit their papers. The papers 
are limited to 7000 words inclusive of footnotes and bibliography, 
essays up to 3000 words and reviews and analysis in two pages. Please 
follow the Harvard Referencing Style. Two copies of manuscripts should 
be submitted in Word Document format, one without any names and 
affiliations (blind copy) and one manuscript with all the relevant 
information.

The deadline for submission is 30 June 2012.
Please send your manuscripts and any inquiries to 
ccafreviewsjournal at gmail.com or dk406 at cam.ac.uk
