The
Central Asia- Caucasus Institute of SAIS was founded in 1996, and has in five years grown
to be the primary institution in the Washington area for the study of the Caucasus,
Central Asia and the Caspian Region.
The institute aspires to conduct impartial research on the region; to act as a forum for
policymakers both in Washington and abroad; to act as a 'switchboard' of resources and
information concerning the Central Asia-Caucasus region; and to provide access for its
sponsors in business to relevant expertise on the region.
