The yearbook of „Wschodnioznawstwo” (‘Eastern Studies’) has been published since 2007 by the Section of Eastern Studies at the Institute of International Studies at the University of Wrocław. The journal publishes original scientific works presenting the multidimensional developments in the Central and Eastern Europe and Asia, with particular emphasis on the post-Soviet area. It remains interdisciplinary in nature, however, the dominant perception relates to the security sciences and political sciences. The unique nature of the journal is evidenced by the international composition of its Academic Editorial Board and the group of authors, among whom there are scholars from Poland, as well as Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Georgia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Macedonia, Germany, Russia, Slovakia, Hungary and the Ukraine.
