Online-Journal Euxeinos. Governance and Culture in the Black Sea Region (University St.Gallen)

The internet publication «Euxeinos» explores contemporary cultural, political and economic problems in the Black Sea Region. Its title derives from the Greek word for «The Black Sea» «Pontos Euxeinos» («Hospitable sea»). This euphemism hints both at the hidden opportunities of this emerging region and the cleavages between the single nations, societies and territories. Each issue focuses on a special topic, e.g. the Holocaust in Romania, the public sphere in Bulgaria, the Black Sea as an economic space, Russia as a political player in the region.

Contributors are experts from the Black Sea Region and from Western countries.

Euxeinos is produced by the Center for Governance and Culture in Europe (University of St. Gallen, Switzerland).

«Euxeinos» is published roughly every second month and can be downloaded for free from the website of the Center for Governance and Culture. A tool for a free subscription is available as well. Please visit http://www.gce.unisg.ch/Projekte/Euxeinos.aspx or www.euxeinos.ch

Previous issues of Euxeinos are available online, a forthcoming issue on Internet and presidential elections in Russia is going to be published at the end of February.
