Slavic-Eurasian Research Center (Japanese: スラブ・ユーラシア研究センター Surabu yūrashia kenkyū sentā) is a scholarly institute at Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.[1] This Center specializes in research on the post-Soviet and postcommunist states and their inhabitants across Eurasia.

History

The origins of the Slavic-Eurasian Research Center’s go back to the

Soviet and Communist studies or Area studies. Two years later, on 1 June 1955, the group was formalized as a Slavic Institute, incorporated in the University’s Faculty of Law. On 1 April 1978 this Institute gained organizational independence and was renamed as the Slavic Research Center (SRC).[2]

In recognition of the geopolitical changes that followed the end of communism in Europe and the breakup of the Soviet Union (thus obviating the validity of Communist studies), on 1 April 2014, the Center was renamed as the Slavic-Eurasian Research Center (SRC).[3]

Research divisions

At present research in the Slavic-Eurasian Research Center is conducted in the following divisions:

  • Russian Studies
  • Siberian and Far Eastern Studies
  • Central Eurasian Studies
  • East European Studies
  • Comparative Studies
  • Eurasian Unit for Border Research[4]

Collaboration with foreign partners
