In Kyrgyzstan such<br>councils are known as aksakal (lit: white beard) councils. In<br>Afghanistan they are mostly referred to as jirga or shura. After<br>the collapse of the Soviet Union and the onset of globalization,<br>aksakal councils were incorporated into the Kyrgyz judicial<br>system as Aksakal Courts. Because the Jirga and Shura are<br>economically efficient, respected by the people, and seek<br>reconciliation rather than retribution, many in the international<br>community are calling for their institutionalization by the<br>Afghan government. Others claim that institutionalization<br>would change their traditional character and eliminate their<br>inherent qualities.

The mostly enforced<br>social changes on the territory of Central Asia produced local intellectuals<br>with a distinct position and with different responses to the events around<br>them. The paper explores how these changes are reflected in a historical<br>work written by a Kyrgyz intellectual who comes from the nomadic<br>culture: Osmonaly Sydykov's Tarikh Qyrgyz Shadmaniya published<br>in 1914 in Ufa. After a brief discussion of Sydykov's life, the paper<br>explores Sydikov's treatment in the Tarikh of the concepts of history,<br>education, progress. and technology, concepts so closely related to<br>current issues of globalization]<p>3:30-3:40<br>Discussion<p>3:40-4:10<br>"Globalization, Oil and the Environment in the Caspian<br>Sea Region of Kazakhstan"<p>Arman Ikhsanov, Exchange Graduate Student from Atyrau<br>University, Atyrau, Kazakhstan<p>[The paper will discuss the ecological and environmental<br>impact of oil and gas pumping by foreign companies in the<br>Caspian Sea region, particularly in the vicinity of Atyrau.

Since 2000, this <br>Central Asian state has seen major political violence end, countrywide <br>order emerge and the peace agreement between the parties of the 1990s <br>civil war hold. Superficially, Tajikistan appears to be a case of <br>successful international intervention for liberal peacebuilding, yet <br>the Tajik peace is characterised by authoritarian governance.<p>Via discourse analysis and extensive fieldwork, including <br>participant-observation with international organizations, the author <br>examines how peacebuilding is understood and practised. The book <br>challenges received wisdom that peacebuilding is a process of <br>democratisation or institutionalisation, showing how interventions <br>have inadvertently served to facilitate an increasingly authoritarian <br>peace and fostered popular accommodation and avoidance strategies. <br>Chapters investigate assistance to political parties and elections, <br>the security sector and community development, and illustrate how <br>transformative aims are thwarted whilst 'success' is simulated for an <br>audience of international donors. At the same time the book charts the <br>emergence of a legitimate order with properties of authority, <br>sovereignty and livelihoods.<p>Providing a challenge to the theoretical literature on peacebuilding <br>and concentrating on an under-studied Central Asian state, this book <br>will be of interest to academics working on Peace Studies, <br>International Relations and Central Asian Studies.<p>April 2009: 234 x 156:240pp<p>Hb: 978-0-415-48403-9: £80.00<p>For further information or to purchase this title please click here: <br><a href="http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/12zzpoQBgd9F4mh">http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/12zzpoQBgd9F4mh</a><p>With best wishes,<p>The Asian Studies Team<br><a href="http://www.routledge.com/asianstudies">www.routledge.com/asianstudies</a><p><p>_______________________________________________<br>Central-Eurasia-L mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Central-Eurasia-L@lists.fas.harvard.edu">Central-Eurasia-L@lists.fas.harvard.edu</a><br>List Info / Subscription: <a href="http://cesww.fas.harvard.edu/ces_cel.html">http://cesww.fas.harvard.edu/ces_cel.html</a><br>Change Your Subscription: <a href="http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/central-eurasia-l">http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/central-eurasia-l</a>Capyboppyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15488485340259972451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998186033105310477.post-32077565008067102842009-05-05T18:17:00.000-07:002009-05-05T19:44:20.241-07:00EVENT- Mini-Festival - Dialogue of Cultures via Music, Dushanbe, May 11-18Distrib. by: Central-Eurasia-L - Announcement List for Central Eurasian Studies<p><br>EVENT- Mini-Festival - Dialogue of Cultures via Music, Dushanbe, May 11-18<p>Posted by: Munira Shahidi <<a href="mailto:munira_shahidi@yahoo.com">munira_shahidi@yahoo.com</a>><p>Mini-festival<br>"Dialogue of Cultures via Music", dedicated to the memory of Ziyodullo Shahidi<br>11-18 May 2009, Tajikistan<p>Mini-festival 'Dialogue of cultures via music' is the next step in the <br>long-term project of the Z.Shahidi Museum of Musical culture and the <br>Foundation in integration of Tajik music both folk and classic into <br>contemporary world. The first Festival of modern music in Tajikistan, <br>initiated by Foundation in cooperation with Ministry of Culture, <br>French Embassy in Tajikistan, Opera and Balley House, Austrian Embassy <br>in Central Asia and Swedish Opera House was in 2004 and had a great <br>success. In 2005 we had a festival on: 'Maqam from Pamir to Andaluse' <br>in cooperation with Royaumont Foundation in France. Last year the <br>Foundation had an expedition to Turkey, having preliminary discussions <br>of the mutual projects for the future festivals of music. Also the <br>Foundation participated Rumi Festival in Oslo with folk music of <br>Davlatmand Kholov. The present project is worked out with British <br>Embassy and Maroon Town and group of 'Shams'. It will involve the <br>students and young people all about 2000 or more in both Dushanbe <br>and Khojent.<p>Such dialogue is very important for Tajikistan since there is a great <br>interest of the young generation and, especially, students to know <br>better Europe and EU. They are hungry for immediate, face-to-face <br>discussions and debates around diversity of cultures in globalizing <br>world and legalization of the soft and peaceful integration of Tajik <br>culture into the European reality of these days. This mini-festival <br>will draw on the mutual values, such as British and Tajik music in its <br>real and possible interconnection via improvisation of musicians and <br>painters. That mini-festival can give a real push for the further <br>Eurasian intercultural dialogue.<p>Program of the Festival is available on request.<p><br>Dr.Munira Shahidi,<br>Z.

Narratives about the Prophet Muhammad, the Shi'i Imams, <br>and Sufi masters (auliyah) in vernacular languages are a primary way <br>that Muslims communicate the important values of their faith and <br>tradition from one generation to the next. These narratives evoke the <br>presence of these important spiritual and religious heroes of the <br>Islamic tradition, persons who inspire both devotion and allegiance. <br>These persons serve as paradigmatic examples to be followed and <br>revered not only as exemplary Muslims, but even more importantly, as <br>exemplary human beings. Narratives about them provide windows into the <br>Islamic concept of humanity (insaniyat), one of the great unifying <br>elements within the Muslim tradition which penetrates and transcends <br>the cultural, linguistic and theological diversity of Islam. This has <br>been especially in the Eurasian Islamic traditions where narrative <br>traditions are particularly rich. Drawing on examples from Asian <br>Islam, this lecture will explore the ways these narratives "teach <br>humanity" and thereby maintain the core values of Islam.<p><br>Registration:<br>Due to space limitations, please RSVP to <br><a href="mailto:svetlana.bernikova@ucentralasia.org">svetlana.bernikova@ucentralasia.org</a> with your name and affiliation by <br>May 4, 2009.

The consequences of the economic crisis and the progressing <br>decomposition of Tajikistan's state structures may bring the country <br>to a stage where it will transform into a 'failing state' - unable to <br>perform its basic functions, posing a threat to the stability of its <br>neighbours and seriously impeding NATO's stabilisation operation in <br>Afghanistan. Within the next few months, an outbreak of open <br>manifestations of popular discontent is also possible, or attempts may <br>even be made to overthrow the central government, and Tajikistan may <br>become submerged in chaos and internal conflicts. As Tajikistan's <br>economy depends on Russia, the direction of developments will be <br>determined by the economic situation in the Russian Federation.<p>Full text can be found at: <br><a href="http://www.osw.waw.pl/files/commentary_22.pdf">http://www.osw.waw.pl/files/commentary_22.pdf</a> <p>Other OSW's publications can be found at: <a href="http://www.osw.waw.pl">www.osw.waw.pl</a> <p><br>Antonina Michalowska<br>External Relations Coordinator<br>Centre for Eastern Studies (OSW)<br>Warsaw, Poland<br>tel.
