Eurasian countries are among the most rapidly and drastically changing places since the collapse of the former Soviet Union. From the year of 1991 on, the demise of the colossus has brought seemingly unlimited and far-flung turmoil among all social spheres on the Eurasian continent. The Journal of Eurasian Studies focuses on Eurasian studies in general, and on the following six hot issues in particular:• National Identity• Political and Economic Transition• Democratization and Marketization• Migration• Energy Problems• and, International Development and ODA (official development assistance).In doing this, the Journal of Eurasian Studies internationalizes local concerns within Eurasian communities and beyond the various Asian civilizations in more cross-regional perspectives. In its true meaning of international relationships, the Journal of Eurasian Studies thus accomplishes its primary goal presenting a nexus as transnational aspects of the Eurasian issues.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Practical application of and academic interest in human rights has grown exponentially over the last decade. Activism – its methods, its ethical imperatives and dilemmas, its particular constituencies, its social and political impact, and even its organizational structure – has become the subject of rigorous scrutiny. New vehicles for the dissemination of the ideas, debates and arguments generated by this remarkable phenomenon are clearly required. The Journal of Human Rights Practice aims to capture learning and communicate the lessons of practice across professional and geographical boundaries, within and beyond the human rights mainstream, and to provide a platform for international and local practitioners world-wide. Such cross-fertilization will challenge conventional ways of working, stimulate innovation and encourage reflective practice.
