Artvin Çoruh University International Journal of Social Sciences "CAUCASUS" Special Issue Call

Artvin Çoruh University Caucasus and Surroundings Application and Research Center and Artvin Çoruh University Hopa Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, in collaboration, will publish a special issue on "CAUCASUS" in September 2024 within our university's International Journal of Social Sciences.

Understanding the Caucasus region and its peoples entails not only acknowledging its historical significance but also recognizing the political, social, and economic transformations that traverse multiple countries within the region's contemporary geopolitical landscape. Moreover, the economic and political ties between neighboring countries such as Russia, Iran, and Turkey, which are in close dialogue with the region, further emphasize the need for transnational and interdisciplinary research to comprehend the Caucasus.

To address this need, the Artvin Çoruh University Caucasus and Surroundings Application and Research Center, in collaboration with the Artvin Çoruh University International Journal of Social Sciences, has decided to publish a special issue on the Caucasus to gather quality academic studies conducted on the Caucasus region and its peoples, disseminate new approaches and concepts regarding the region's political, geopolitical, social, and economic structure, and guide new research on the region.

While the special issue is open to all fields of social sciences, articles submitted in Turkish and English from the fields of Political Science and International Relations, Sociology, History, Literature, and Linguistics will be given priority. Articles submitted for the special issue will undergo double-blind peer review, similar to other issues of the journal, and accepted articles will be published online with free access.
