Proceeding from a broad conception of power as the heteronomous reduction of individual and collective autonomy which can be effected through military, economic, ideological, and political means, the project “Power and Strategies of Social and Political Order” will address a range of questions pertinent to the study of various Asian and Middle Eastern societies from the ancient past to the present.

Our goal is to contribute to a better knowledge of Central Asia, defined in this context as the area from Afghanistan through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan to Western China (Xinjiang, Tibet), and Mongolia, which is a vast and historically, culturally and politically important region.

The Middle East Lecture Series, created in 2017 by Ebru Akcasu and Stefano Taglia, is a series of events sponsored by the Oriental Institute (CAS) and the Department of Middle Eastern Studies (Charles University).

Hlavním zájmem a posláním webové platformy New Monsoon je vytvářet a šířit znalosti o jihovýchodní Asii, tomto fascinujícím, dynamickém a strategickém regionu Asie v srdci Indopacifiku, klíčovém geopolitickém centru dnešního světa. Platforma těží z podpory Orientálního ústavu a Strategie AV21 a jejím šéfredaktorem je vědecký pracovník OÚ, indonesista Tomáš Petrů.
