AIM AND SCOPE
From a global perspective, Central Asia and the Caucasus as a geopolitical complex is one of the most notable regions of the world. The area also marks unprecedented geopolitical importance and geo-ethnic composition for Turkish peoples. Shared Turk identity however is not mature enough for regional integration but is one of the most driving forces of the regional dynamics which has a potential for changes in the Eurasian continent.
Changing geopolitics of the region which retains challenges and prospects in the same pot is crucial not only for its periphery but also for the rest of the world. While the great and regional powers’ contests; interstate, intrastate, and extra-state conflicts; terrorism; and organized crime challenge the stability of the region, prospects of security, economic, and organizational cooperation promote a new horizon of peace, stability, and prosperity.
Central Asia’s and the Caucasus’ future will likely be more dynamic than ever. The changing dynamics of the region transforms its geopolitics. The 21st Century has brought a new atmosphere of cooperation, uncertainties, risks, and threats to the region.
A new understanding of scholarship is one of the determinant factors in shaping a safe and secure future for the region. This may also help positive developments for the entire world. Thus, İstanbul Arel University / Türkiye has organized the International and Regional Political Studies Congress – 2025 titled “Regional Integration in Central Asia and the Caucasus: Challenges and Prospects” (08-09.February.2025).
Congress aims to discuss the present and future areas of concern and opportunities in Central Asia and the Caucasus and analyse and assess the possibility of regional integration. The Congress will be held in two days, with six successive sessions. The first three sessions will deal with challenges with an understanding of the enlarged security approach. The fourth and fifth sessions will concentrate on regional cooperation areas of the economy, energy, and transportation. The final session will deal with the roles and the future of regional organizations, and forums.
