Armenian Review Appoints New Editor
/Watertown, Mass, December 8, 2008/ – The /Armenian Review/, an
academic, peer reviewed journal featuring articles by highly acclaimed
academicians, will resume publishing biannually under the direction of a
new editor.
Dr. Asbed Kotchikian, who is a lecturer in political science at Bentley
University of Waltham, Massachusetts, has recently been appointed the
new editor of the /Armenian Review/. Dr. Kotchikian has written and
lectured on topics related to foreign policies of small and weak states,
national identity, and regional developments in the Middle East and
Eurasia. His PhD dissertation, `Dialectics of Small States: Foreign
Policy making in the South Caucasus,’ focused on foreign policy issues
in Armenia and Georgia.
`The /Armenian Review/ will retain its traditions and remain an
academic, peer-reviewed journal focusing on the examination of
sociopolitical, historical and economic issues related to Armenia and
Armenians, without falling into the trap of ethnocentrism,’ Dr.
Kotchikian said. `We believe that the examination of issues confronting
the world at-large is a prerequisite to understanding those issues that
Armenia and Armenians throughout the world face,’ he added.
Dr. Dikran Kaligian will continue to be the journal’s managing editor
and Dr. Vartan Matiosian will be the newly appointed book review editor.
The /Armenian Review/ was first published in 1948 by Hairenik Press and
soon became a leading quarterly journal featuring mainly academic papers
written by some of the most respected scholars and experts on Armenian
historical, social, political, and cultural affairs.
The editorial board includes Richard G. Hovannisian; Stephan Astourian;
Levon Chorbajian; S. Peter Cowe; Vahakn N. Dadrian; G. M. Goshgarian;
Ara Khanjian; Dickran Kouymjian; Marc Nichanian; Susan Pattie; Ronald
Grigor Suny; and Khachig Tololyan.
Dr. Kotchikian can be contacted by e-mail at [email protected].
