"Thinking-East is an innovative venture grounded on intelligent, honest dialogue across frontiers of geography and mind in the service of understanding. It deserves respect and support" - David Hayes, openDemocracy.net

"Thinking-East is a splendid source of on-the-ground information on Central Asia. Its authors give voices and faces to people who all too often only appear as statistics and cliches in the mainstream media." - Lutz Kleveman, author of The New Great Game. Blood and Oil in Central Asia

 Thinking-East.Net - a fresh, pioneering project bringing together young academics from around the world to reflect upon issues pertaining to North Africa, the Near and Middle East and Central Asia. It is the dream and hope of this team that by offering these young thinkers space to publish their ideas, unrestrained from the agendas of established publishers, we can effect positive changes in our troubled era.
