The Minister of Agriculture and Regional Development of the Hungarian Republic Jozsef Graf emphasized that cooperation between our states was insufficient. However, after the visit of the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev to Hungary it was found out that our countries have many common spheres of cooperation and the main of them is agriculture. It is necessary to improve cooperation in the field of agriculture, cattle breeding, and also in preparation and exchange of experts.

Central European Summer University course on Rewriting Central Asian History
-
The course “Rewriting History: Emerging Identities and Nationalism in Central Asia”, will be taught at the Central European University Summer University in Budapest, Hungary, from 19 - 30 July 2004. The course will use interdisciplinary perspective to examine the phenomenon of revising and rewriting of history in Central Asia. It will examine the roots of this phenomenon going back to the colonial time of print-capitalism, which fostered the emergence of “imagined communities” in Central Asia and look at the problem from a theoretical point of view placing it rightly within the theoretical concepts existing in Historical Anthropology, Post-Colonial Studies and Area Studies.
The course will focus among others on such problems as the complex interplay between invention and mythologization of history and ethno-nationalism as well as emerging new state based identities. It will introduce the multifaceted debate on the nature of invention of history and reveal its correlation with state building, politics, and political regimes and show the role of history writing in the social and cultural life of societies during the transition period. The comparative analysis of the history writing process in the Central Asian states with those in other post-Communist societies (Caucasus, Mongolia) as well as Chinese Central Asia (Xinjiang) will enable to reveal general tendencies in the process of the rewriting of history and describe it as a natural phenomenon for contemporary post-colonial societies. The course will give participants the skills necessary to apply academic theories, concepts and methodology to their own researches and curricula.
