Abstract
The aim of the Association for the Study of EthnoGeoPolitics (EGP), or EthnoGeoPolitics in
short, is to further the study of and teaching on the cultural, social, ethnic and (geo-)political
characteristics, processes and developments in different areas of the world, at universities,
institutes and colleges in and outside the Netherlands.
Our initial focus will be on the ethnogeopolitics in Eurasia, especially in Central Eurasia
(Caucasus, near Middle East, Central Asia) and Southeastern Europe or the Balkans.
However, the Association’s research and teaching topics are expressly intended to cover in
principle all possible regions, countries and localities in the world where aspects of
ethnogeopolitics – a vital concept in the field of conflict studies – are salient.
