About the Journal
The China and Eurasia Forum is an independent forum which seeks to bring together regional experts, academics, government policy makers, and business leaders with an interest in the growing relationship between China and Eurasia. The forum is affiliated to the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute and Silk Road Studies Program - a Joint Transatlantic Research and Policy Center of Johns Hopkins University and the Stockholm-based Institute for Security and Development Policy. Focusing primarily on Sino-Central Asian, Sino-Russian, and Sino-Caucasian relations, the goal of this website and the China and Eurasia Forum Quarterly is to foster discussion and information sharing between a geographically distant community that recognizes the significance of China's emergence in this important part of the world. This new homepage was made possible with the generous support of the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsradet)
