Dear Colleagues,
We would like to call your attention to the launch of EurasiaNet - a
new daily internet news and analytic service, covering the countries
of Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as developments in Russia,
the Middle East and Southwest Asia that bear on this region. The site
can be found at http://www.eurasianet.org
EurasiaNet offers daily news:
* Today's Wires which consolidates news and information from outside
sources, including the British Broadcasting System, Radio Free
Europe-Radio Liberty and Interfax. Every day, reports from these and
other news services are also posted on the Resource Pages of all the
countries in the region.
* Regional Datebook keeps you ahead of the curve on upcoming events
throughout the Caucasus and Central Asia.
EurasiaNet has seven different departments featuring original content
on political, economic, social, cultural and environmental
developments through an extensive network of contributors providing
material that keeps readers on top of regional developments. The
departments include:
* Eurasia Insight: Analytical articles on current events that place
emphasis on anticipating future developments.
* Business and Economics: Articles geared towards closely examining
deals and trends and their possible impact on economic development.
* Q&A: Interviews with news makers and opinion shapers on regional
issues.
* Human Rights: Articles that examine state-building practices of the
countries in the region within the context of internationally-accepted
human rights norms.
* Environment: Articles that identify critical environmental issues
and examine what is being done to address problems.
* Book Reviews: Examines books that may appeal to those with an
interest in Central Asia and the Caucasus. This will eventually expand
into a broader cultural review column.
* Election Watch: Provides context, results and analysis of regional
elections.
* Resource Pages: Provide comprehensive data and links to other news
sources on the web.
EurasiaNet also features a variety of other resources, including a
discussion board, a database, and hundreds of links. Indeed,
EurasiaNet is perhaps the most comprehensive source for news and
information about the countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia found
anywhere on the World Wide Web.
You can also subscribe to a weekly version of the stories which will
be emailed to your account.
Visit EurasiaNet, today and everyday at
http://www.eurasianet.org.
Sincerely,
Justin Burke
Managing Editor
EurasiaNet
