Edizioni Ca' Foscari publishes a new volume of "Eurasiatica"

On November 15 a new volume of the Eurasiatica was released by Edizioni Ca’ Foscari, the university’s publisher. The volume, which was edited by Prof. Aldo Ferrari and Prof. Carlo Frappi, gathers essays dedicated to the Caucasus and Central Asia and reflects the main avenues of the research carried out in recent years by Italian and international scholars. Consistently with the scope of the series, which aims to provide a high-level, multidisciplinary academic medium of communication in various research fields (archaeology, art, anthropology, ethnology and ethnomusicology, linguistics, philology, folklore, religion, history, geopolitics), the newly published volume includes articles of a philological, historical, economic and political nature and addresses various issues relevant to the knowledge of these regions, characterized by the Eurasian region’s rich cultural tradition as well as by its ever-growing importance on the contemporary political stage.

The volume includes three contributions specifically dedicated to the study of Azerbaijan: “The State Modernization and the Metamorphosis of the Middle Class in the Post-Soviet Capital of Azerbaijan” (Cristina Boboc, Ghent University); “National Identity and International Relations in Azerbaijan: An Interpretative Framework” (Daniel Pommier, La Sapienza University of Rome); and “Dependence and interdependence between Land-locked and Transit Countries: Azerbaijan, Georgia and the Energy Sector” (Carlo Frappi, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice).
