Caucasus Strategic Perspectives (CSP)

Caucasus Strategic Perspectives (CSP) is a peer-reviewed, biannual academic journal on foreign and security policy and is published since 2020 by Centre of Analysis of International Relations (AIR Center), a think-tank based in Baku, Azerbaijan.

CSP’s key goals are:

• to provide a platform for debate among practitioners, researchers and scholars from the Caucasus region and beyond;
• to contribute to and encourage academic debate on a wide range of economic, political and social issues in the Caucasus region as a whole, as well as within the countries of the region;
• to foster stimulating exchange of ideas on the Caucasus region and beyond;
• to build an intellectual forum for contemplative dialogue and meaningful involvement in as broad a community as possible.

The journal publishes clear, well-documented manuscripts on Türkiye, Iran, Central Asia, Russia, Europe, the United States, and other regions, covering all aspects of international affairs and political viewpoints. While its primary focus is the Caucasus region and its neighbourhood, this is framed within broader global and regional contexts. Each issue centers on a theme, bringing perspectives from policymakers, area specialists, diplomats, and academics worldwide. The journal aims to highlight the Caucasus’s role in international affairs and policymaking.

As a supporting institution and publisher, the AIR Center is committed to ensuring accessibility of the journal’s website. There is no publication or submission fee for authors to have their manuscripts published in the CSP journal.
