Central Asia and
the Caucasus (CAC) Research Group
Housed in the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs, the CAC
Research Group unites graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and
professionals from Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as other researchers
working in the region. Members of the group have come from the United States, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. As a research network, our mission is to
support active collaboration across disciplines within the Maxwell School and
the broader Syracuse community, including SUNY-ESF. Monthly group meetings
serve as a forum for participants to present and workshop their research, with
the goal of promoting a deeper understanding of the region and the unique
insights of participants’ respective disciplines. Designed to promote interdisciplinary
and cross-regional dialogue, the CAC Research Group builds on the Maxwell
School’s multi-disciplinary heritage and the mission of the Daniel Patrick
Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs to advance regionally-grounded approaches
to challenges to governance.
New members are always welcome.
