Established in 1999, the Central Asia-Caucasus Analyst has established itself among the world's most authoritative sources of analysis and information on the region. The CACI Analyst is edited by Dr. Svante Cornell.

The CACI Analyst is published on the Internet and in hardcopy edition on a fortnightly basis, and is freely available at http://www.cacianalyst.org . The website enables visitors to read single articles or download entire issues in Portable Document Format, and includes a fully searchable archive of over 1000 articles and field reports published since 1999. Each issue of the CACI Analyst contains four analytical articles, four field reports, and a news digest. Through this format, the CACI Analyst strives to offer original insights on developments in the region. The analytical articles offer timely but succinct studies of important developments, written by some of the leading experts in the field, both western and regional. The field reports provide perspectives from within the region on ongoing processes and events taking place there. Finally, the news digests give readers reliable data on relevant events of the last fortnight.

The analytical mission of the CACI Analyst has been widely acclaimed by professionals in the West and in the region itself. The target audience of the CACI Analyst is broad, including the policy-makers in the United States and the European Union; business leaders; representatives of the media and academia; and students. Naturally, the same communities in the countries of the region are also part of the core audience. The CACI Analyst is read in the presidential offices and decision-making bodies of most Central Asian and Caucasian countries.
