PUBLICATION- The Cyber Caravan, SAIS CA-Caucasus Institute

"The Cyber-Caravan"

- A new journal on an ancient region

Caspian pipelines, the Central Asia Union, "a second Persian Gulf," GUAM,
the new "Silk Road," Kyrgyzstan joining the WTO, the drug trade - all terms
that dominate today's headlines. 

Where does a reader go for timely, accurate analysis of these and other
issues emanating from Central Asia?

What little available literature there is is either too general ,too dated,
or too narrowly focused towards a narrow, specialist readership.

It is to fulfill this urgent need that the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute
of the School of Advanced Studies of the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced
International Studies, The Johns Hopkins University, is now accepting
subscriptions for its new journal, "The Cyber-Caravan," shortly to begin
publication. 

"The Cyber-Caravan" will provide rapid, incisive in-depth analysis, written
by leading experts of Eurasia's vast landmass, stretching from the Caucasus
to China's Sinkiang province. 

 "The Cyber-Caravan" will prove an invaluable resource to businessmen,
journalists, policy makers and academics seeking to understand the short
and long-term changes affecting this enormous, resource-rich region. 

"The Cyber-Caravan"'s  writers are drawn from a world-wide core of
specialists on the region from the academic, business and government
communities. A unique element of  "The Cyber-Caravan" is its extensive use
of Central Asian authors to provide their unrivalled expertise and
experience to a global audience. 

Subscribers to "The Cyber-Caravan" will receive not only the bi-weekly
paper journal, but an e-mail electronic version transmitted to their e-mail
account. Back issues of  The Cyber-Caravan will be housed in a searchable
archive at the Institute's website available to subscribers.

An annual subscription to "The Cyber-Caravan" costs $250, and is
tax-deductible, providing the subscriber with nearly 200 pages of unique
analytical material not to be found elsewhere. The journal is edited by Dr.
J.C.K. Daly of the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University
of London. 

Issues covered in the first several issues will include: a geostrategic
survey of the region by Dr. Zbigniew Brzezsinki, Japanese investment in
Central Asia, instability in Dagestan and Chechnya, Wahhabi impact in
Uzbekistan, the meaning of the Azerbaijani presidential elections,
Novorossiisk as an oil export port, Taleban influence in Central Asia, the
impact of the Russian economic crisis in Central Asia, Western investment
in the Central Asian goldmining industry, Chinese interest in Kazakh energy
resources, and Iranian influence in Central Asia. "The Cyber Caravan" will
quickly become the leader in its field as the Central Asia-Caucasus
Institute's flagship publication.
