Working-Papers

CAS-Working Papers are characterized by a trancultural and/or interdisciplinary orientation.

We welcome works that deal with different regions as well as such that concentrate on one region. Out of the papers that focus on one region, we favour those which could be of interest for experts of other regions as well. As to interdisciplinarity, we are especially interested in contributions that connect the perspecitves of social science and humanities.

CAS-Working Papers will include contributions from scholars in Germany as well as from abroad.

CAS-Working Papers are also available through the document server of the FU.
