Russia and the Asia-Pacific
The book series Russia and the Asia-Pacific showcases high quality research on Pacific Russia and its entanglements and disentanglements with other countries and cultures of the Asia-Pacific region. It is coordinated by the Max Weber Network Eastern Europe in cooperation with the Chair for Russia-Asia Studies at the LMU Munich and supported by the Max Weber Foundation.
The series is interdisciplinary and open to contributions from the fields of history, anthropology, political and social sciences, environmental humanities, and regional studies. We are interested in both monographs and edited collections and welcome submissions from early career scholars, including excellent doctoral dissertations. Publication is possible in either English or German.

Russia's North Pacific: Centres and Peripheries
The series “Russia and the Asia-Pacific” explores political, economic, social, cultural and environmental interactions of the Russian Far East within its Asian-Pacific context as well as with the Russian capital in the past and present. Its first volume addresses from a multidisciplinary perspective notably the following questions: How were and are directives from a centre thousands of kilometers away perceived and implemented by actors in this region? To which extent was and is the centre successful or how did or does it fail in integrating a region as far away from the centre as the Russian Far East in its state structures? How have notions of “centre” and “periphery” changed over time?
