Full Chapters Due: July 31, 2017
Submission Date: November 30, 2017
Introduction
The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is a regional organization
formed during the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. Nine out of the 15
former Soviet Republics are member states and two are associate members.
The CIS has few supranational powers, but aims to be more than a purely
symbolic organization, nominally possessing coordinating powers in the
realm of trade, finance, lawmaking, and security. It has also promoted
cooperation on cross-border crime prevention. Furthermore, eight of the
nine CIS member states participate in the CIS Free Trade Area. Three
organizations are under the CIS overview; namely, the Collective Security
Treaty Organization, the Eurasian Economic Union, and the Union State.
While the first and the second are military and economic alliances, the
latter aims to reach a confederation between Russia and Belarus with a
common government, flag, and currency. The book should be published because
many of the existing works on the region do not cover in one volume all of
the topics envisaged in this proposal.

Objective
The primary objective of the proposed publication is that of Reference
material for scholars and business executives who need to understand the
importance and influence of the CIS and Eurasia in the 21st century. The
secondary objective is to provide a foundation for other related
publications on the subject area. The book should be published because many
of the existing works on the region do not cover in one volume all of the
topics envisaged in this proposal.

Target Audience
The primary intended audience is scholars who have the need for qualified
Reference material regarding the subject matter of the proposed publication
as outlined above. While having academic rigor, the book will be written in
a way such that it can also be understood by non-academics and
non-specialists who have the educational background to comprehend the
importance of the proposed publication.
