Central Asia and Caucasus Review

The Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) Review is a monthly, online publication in English. It is a part of capacity building projects within EPIN (Economic Policy Institutes' Network) financed by UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) coordinated by ICEG European Center. The project involves experts from research institutes and universities of the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan) regions in preparing brief analyses of macroeconomic, microeconomic, institutional or structural content. The thematic approach of the publication is directed to capture extraordinary, non-trend macroeconomic developments, as well as social, economic problems that arise from the specialties of the structural and political setup.
