Uwe Halbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uwe Halbach (* 1949 ) is a German Caucasus expert and research associate at the Science and Politics Foundation in Berlin.

From 1970 to 1976 he studied Eastern European history , Slavic and general history at the University of Cologne . In 1976 he received his doctorate on the medieval history of Russia.

From 1986 to 2000 he was a research assistant at the Federal Institute for Eastern and International Studies with the research fields of Soviet nationality policy, state and nation-building processes in post-Soviet development, as well as the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Uwe Halbach has been working as a research assistant at the Science and Politics Foundation in Berlin since 2001. His main research interests are Russia / CIS, Central Asia and the Caucasus, Islam in the CIS area and unresolved secession conflicts in this region, about which he has presented a large number of publications, especially in institute publications.

In 2014 Halbach retired, but continues to publish in his specialist areas. It is questionable whether his position with a Caucasus profile in the Science and Politics Foundation will be filled again. In general, the number of Caucasus experts is rare in Germany. The subject of Kaukasiology is hardly represented at universities and institutes.
