WATERTOWN, Mass.-The Armenian Review's Fall/Winter 2009 issue is now
available to order.
The new issue of the Armenian Review, titled "Armenia(ns) and Civil
Society," was released in January 2010. Focusing on the overall
theme of civil society, the four articles appearing in this issue
explore the role of civil society and democracy building in pre- and
post-Soviet Armenia and the Diaspora, in relation to the media, and to
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The discussions take different turns,
and the term itself, "civil society," acquires various definitions,
adapting to the authors' perspectives and disciplinary backgrounds.
Furthermore, the discussion expands into the development of civil
society in Turkey, and its role in genocide recognition.
The 139 page issue includes:
An introductory discussion of civil society in Armenia and Turkey by
Editor Asbed Kotchikian (Bentley University), and Susan Spice (Florida
State University), titled "Civil Society- For Whom and For What"
Armine Ishkanian's (London School of Economics) "(Re)Claiming the
Emancipatory Potential of Civil Society: A Critical Examination of
Civil Society and Democracy Building Programs in Armenia since 1991"

The Case of Nagorno-Karabakh" by Irina Ghaplanyan (University of
Cambridge)
"The New Media Democracy: Electronic Media's Influence on Armenia"
by Eleeza Vorperian Agopian
"Whose Space, Whose Interests? Clashes within Armenian Diasporic
Civil Society" by Sossie Kasbarian (University of London)
