Abstract:

Energy security has become an important part of national security policies in the last decades. Policies concerning energy security are designed and implemented in different ways by countries based on their geographical, political and economic imperatives.

Abstract:

<p> Repression, used by dictators as a tool to control the populous of a nation, is a defining feature of authoritarian regimes. Often the most concerning response, the use of coercion is centrally important to a greater understanding of how dictators maintain stability. Emerging theories have proposed that autocracies may be influenced the West toward democratic transition, thus away from repressive autocratic behavior. For both intellectual and ethical reasons, it is important to know when a regime will use repression and how the West may be able to modify these responses. This study explore

Abstract:

<p> The promotion of language is considered to be the one of the ways to increase the state's soft power. Taking this into account, Soviet leaders used the Russian language as a tool to create a new identity to consolidate the Soviet republics. After the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1991, the majority of the countries started the de-russification process which was a part of their own nation-building process. However, in the case of Central Asia, the variation of language policies is observed: some of the states, such as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, still use Russ

Abstract:

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) is emerging as a significant security organisation in Central Asia, but remains understudies in academia. This thesis analyses SCO using primary research interviews across its member-states, and by drawing on theoretical literatures developed for security and regionalism in the developing world. The role of SCO as a security provider and the nature of cooperation within its framework are examined, challenging existing assumptions. It is argued that the SCO is not an "empty vessel" aimed at countering Western influence, but a framework for cooperation

The challenges of trafficking and extremism within the region originated from outside of Central Asia. Foreign organizations and ideologies are significant actors in progression of regional ins

All of these processes were initiated as a result of the Arab invasions between 625 and 750 A.D. Sogdia or Sogdiana, along with the regions of Bactria and Khwarazm, were inc

Consequently, it traces the routinization of the state narratives of Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan toward the region and regional organizations. Ontological security theory argues that, in addition to physical security, states seek ideational security, security of identity and security of be

The thesis applies a wider anthropological framework, which sees civil society as a broad network of social relationships, including traditional forms of associational life that can be relatively independent of the state.

Abstract:

The fortified enclosures of Late Iron Age/Antique Khorezm (Chorasmia) (7th/6th century BCE–4th century CE) have been characterised by previous scholars as the urban centres of a centralised, agricultural state, yet there is little evidence that they were permanent, nucleated settlements. Urbanism varies according to regional and temporal contexts, and the Khorezmian fortified sites do not exhibit conventional urban characteristics. The thesis re-interprets the Khorezmian fortified sites and their archaeological landscape, utilizing contemporary theoretical approaches, archaeological legacy dat

Abstract:

<p> This study is based on the extraction and sequencing of the mitochondrial DNA from 132 ancient human samples from central Mongolia dating to the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age (Xiongnu) and Mongol Empire periods. The data collected were compared to mtDNA gene pools from multiple published studies of ancient and modern human populations from across Eurasia with particular focus on Eurasian steppe populations. The results of these analyses support a model of human migration showing an original eastern population on the Neolithic Mongol Steppe that admixed with a western population, which ha

Abstract:

<p> This research explores Hmong parents’ choices and experiences in choosing district provided educational programs that provide instruction in Hmong language for their children. The study involved interviews with district employees who have created, implemented and/or teach in district provided Hmong language programs. These interviews were followed by focus group interviews with Hmong parents about the choices and experiences of district provided Hmong language programs. Findings were that administrators were deeply committed to providing Hmong language programs to serve students iden

Abstract:

Les orogènes d'accrétion formées le long de marges convergentes se caractérisent par une longue évolution et sont les principaux sites de croissance continentale sur la Terre. Les phénomènes de convergence dans les orogènes d'accrétion impliquent des processus tectoniques complexes, tels que la subduction et le retrait de slabs, l'accrétion arc-arc/continent, et l'extension post-collisionnelle. Cependant, les processus orogéniques des anciennes orogènes sont plus compliqués en raison de l'importante érosion, nécessitant de connaissances approfondies sur la déformation, le métamorphisme et le m

Abstract:

Large-scale accretionary and collisional crustal orogenic architecture is studied combining structural geology, lithostratigraphy, geochronology and magmatic petrology with gravity, magnetic and seismic data. This multidisciplinary approach allows characterizing the structure and composition of the orogenic crust in two accretionary-collisional systems. The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) constituting one third of the Asia continent and the Bohemian Massif are two Palaeozoic orogens formed by accretion followed by collision. It is proposed that the CAOB formed by successive Paleozoic accret
