LIBERTAS Research Project 2008-2009:

Central Asia and Caucasus Integration

LIBERTAS – European Institute GmbH and its ECTIS (European Centre for Transnational Integration Studies) run a research project on Central Asian and Caucasus Integration (i. e. two issues!) from February 2008, until at least end of 2009, however probably open end.

Objectives are the conditions for different ways of integration, the analysis of various kinds of integration, and the forecasting of consequences of these integrations. Taking into account the EU experiences, new and individual models will have to be considered.

ECTIS/LIBERTAS is in close cooperation

in Central Asia:

• with a research project within the Diplomatic Academy of Kyrgyzstan (Ph. D. Project on Central Asian Integration / Nazira Toktalieva)

in the Caucasus:

• with the European Movement of Armenia (chaired by Viktor Yengibaryan; Hovhannes Nikoghosyan)
