이 글은 실크로드라는 이름으로 더 많이 알려진 중앙유라시아 미술사 연구의 성과와 과제에 대해 살펴본 것이다. 이 글에서 다루는 '중앙유라시아'의 공간 범주는 중국 신강, 티베트, 몽골, 러시아 및 구소련 공화국, 인도 북부, 이란, 터키이며, 30년 이상 거쳐 온 이 지역 미술사 연구의 지적 모색 과정을 크게 되짚어 보고, 이를 통해 앞으로 나아가야할 바를 생각해보려 하였다. 한국의 중앙유라시아 미술사 연구는 학문적 연륜은 짧지만, 2015년 현재 인도서북부, 중국 신장, 돈황 등 몇몇 분야의 괄목할만한 발전이 있었다. 발전의 뒤에는 1990년 중앙유라시아로 현지답사가 가능해지면서 실견이 가능해진 환경도 있지만, 중앙아시아학회, 서울대 중앙유라시아연구소와 같은 연구기관이 후학들에게 마련해 준 '학문의 장(場)'이 있었다. 두 학술단체는 비록 느리지만 꾸준히 중앙유라시아 미술사 관련 연구로 학자들의 관심을 유도하고 연구자들을 배출해냈다. 2012년 이후로는 갑자기 상황이 많이 바뀌었다. 관이 주도하는 국제학술대회가 우후죽순처럼 개최되었기 때문이다. 실크로드를 한반도로 연장하고, 궁극에는 '중앙유라시아의 이니셔티브'를 확보하려는 것이다. 2015년 현재, 대중들의 관심은 높아졌고, 1980년 이후 두 번째 열풍이 불고 있다. 물론 최근의 국제학술대회가 목표와 지향점이 미리 설정되어 있어 객관성이 담보되거나 발표자가 자신의 목소리를 내기는 어렵다는 문제가 있기는 하지만, 틀림없는 사실은 관심이 높아진 만큼 발전 가능성이 커졌다는 것이다. 지금 이 시점에서 무엇보다 중요한 것은 말할 필요도 없이 중앙유라시아 미술사를 체계적이고 전문적으로 연구할 신진 연구자의 양성이다. 한국문화와 세계 문화가 만나 소통하고 이를 기반으로 신개념 문화를 만들어 내려면 말이다. 위의 과제가 해결되지 않는다면 한국 유라시아 미술사 연구는 자칫 오랫동안 공회전할 가능성이 있다.

This article examines the nature of geopolitics and its impact on the international political economy of Eurasia/Silk Road. The research questions are exploratory and aim at revealing the differing geopolitical perceptions of the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the former Soviet Central Asian countries-Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan-within the context of an emerging "New Silk Road". Consequently, the main goal of this article is to contribute to a better understanding of what factors constrain and shape Silk Road initiatives in Eurasia. To this end, the article focuses on geopolitics and regional integration theories through a consideration of the Silk Road initiatives of a number of Eurasian countries.

Several theories about the ancestry of the Khazars and the origins of the Khazar state have been suggested to date. None of them provides a comprehensive solution for the controversial data of the written sources on the early history of the Khazars. This article investigates a possible link between the title of Kagan-Bek of the Deputy Kagan of the Khazars and a similar title Ellac/Ilek of the Akatsir-Huns. This study of the title argues for statehood and political culture connections between the earliest Turkic tribes of Western Eurasia and the Khazars and Turks of Central Asia.

This article demonstrates the significance of long-distance networks formed by traders from Afghanistan and Central Asia to the forging of present-day transregional connections within Asia. It identifies two connective corridors authored by these traders: a 'Eurasian corridor' connecting East Asia to post-Soviet Eurasia and extending into Western Europe and a 'West Asian corridor' involving traders originally from Central Asia linking East Asia to Turkey and the Arabian Peninsula. Empirically, the paper documents and analyses the varying cultural and political orientations of traders operating along these networks, and ways in which specific nodes in the networks contribute to their activities as a whole. Conceptually, the papers suggest that the study of 'inter-Asian' connections stands to benefit from deploying oceanic and inland models of geography in a non-dichotomous manner.

유라시아의 문화유산에 대한 연구와 정책 동향을 조명한다면 그 범위가 너무 넓어 한두 가지 맥락으로 일목요연하게 정리할 수는 없지만 그래도 나름대로 공통적 특성은 발견할 수 있을 것이다. 특히 중앙아시아 국가들을 중심으로 살펴보면 일부 국가들의 경우 정책수단의 근본이 되는 문화유산 관련 법령이 잘 갖추어지지 않은 것을 발견할 수 있다. 이들이 독립국가가 된 것이 오래되지 않았고 일부 국가들에서 볼 수 있듯이 경제적 어려움 속에서 법령을 정교하게 다듬어 집행할 여력이 없었기 때문이다. 문화유산에 대한 연구도 자체 능력보다는 외국과의 협력을 통해 진행하는 경우가 많은데 발굴사업의 예에서 보듯이 유럽을 중심으로 한 외국 연구기관과의 협력 아래 진행하는 연구가 다수를 차지한다. 유네스코에서도 중앙아시아 실크로드 문화유산의 일련번호 지정사업을 통해 중앙아시아 및 실크로드 국가들이 문화유산을 보호하고 향후 잠정목록에 올릴 수 있도록 지원하고 있다. 문화유산의 보호 활동은 국가별 차이는 있으나 전반적으로 보아 예산과 전문 인력 등의 부족으로 효과적인 활동을 하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 특히 세계문화유산이나 기록 유산의 등재 활동은 풍부한 자원을 가지고 있음에도 상당히 미약하여 향후 이런 분야에 대한 협력을 강화해야할 것이다. 근래에 문화유산과 관광을 결합한 새로운 형태의 정책 수립과 연구방향이 시도되고 있다. 다소의 부정적 측면이 있음에도 중앙아시아 및 실크로드 국가들은 이런 시도를 환영하고 있다. 향후 우리나라는 이들 국가들과 연구네트워크를 형성하여 문화유산 정책과 연구활동의 많은 분야에서 협력을 강화할 것이 기대된다.

The characteristics of the rainfall events on the Korean peninsula have been investigated by means of regional and global observational data collected from 1954 to 2004 with an emphasis on extreme cases $80\;mm\;day^{-1}$. According to our analysis, long-term annual rainfall anomalies show an increasing trend. This trend is pronounced in the month of August, when both the amount of monthly rainfall and the frequency of extreme events increase significantly. Composite maps on August during the 8 wet years reveal warm SST anomalies over the eastern Philippine Sea which are associated with enhanced convection and vertical motion and intensified positive SLP over central Eurasia during August. The rainfall pattern suggests that the most significant increase in moisture supply over the southern parts of China and Korea in August is associated with positive SLP changes over Eurasia and negative SLP changes over the subtropical western Pacific off the east coast of south China. The frequent generation of typhoons over the warm eastern Philippine Sea and their tracks appear to influence the extreme rainfall events in Korea during the month of August. The typhoons in August mainly passed the western coast of Korea, resulting in the frequent occurrence of extreme rainfall events in this region. Furthermore, anomalous cyclonic circulations over the eastern Philippine Sea also promoted the generation of tropical cyclones. The position of pressure systems - positive SLP over Eurasia and negative SLP over the subtropical Pacific - in turn provided a pathway for typhoons. The moisture is then effectively transported further north toward Korea and east toward the southern parts of China during the extreme rainfall period.

Based on the geographic range and distribution of its rodent reservoir host, the European common vole (Microtus arvalis), Tula virus is likely to be widespread throughout Eurasia. Tula virus-infected voles have been captured in Central Russia, Austria, Czech and Slovak Republics, and the former Yugoslavia. Although serologic evidence for Hantaan (HTN) or Seoul (SEO) virus infection can be found in the vast majority of the more than 300 cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) occurring annually in Korea, approximately 4% of Korean patients with HFRS show a more than 4-fold higher antibody titer to Puumala (PUU) virus than to HTN or SEO virus by double-sandwich IgM ELISA, suggesting the existence of pathogenic Puumala-related hantaviruses in Korea. To further define the geographic distribution and genetic diversity of Tula virus in Eurasia and to investigate the existence of previously unrecognized Microtus-borne hantavirus in Korea, arvicolid rodents were captured in Lodz, Poland in 1995 and in Yunchon-kun, Kyungki-do during April to May, 1998. In addition, sera from 18 Korean HFRS patients who showed higher (or the same) antibody titer to Tula virus than HTN and SEO viruses were examined for hantavirus RNA by RT-PCR. Hantaviral sequences were not detected in any of the 18 patients or in 35 reed voles (Microtus fortis) in Korea. Alignment and comparison of a 208-nucleotide region of the S segment, amplified from lung tissues of two hantavirus-seropositive Marvalis captured in Poland, revealed $80.8{\sim}83.2%$ sequence similarity, respectively, with Tula virus strains from Central Russia and the Czech and Slovak Republics. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the newfound Tula virus strains from Poland were closely related to other Tula hantaviruses from Eurasia.

World history today has been greatly influenced by the fact that it was the revolution in naval power during the past two centuries that made the world truly global. This has led to a new master narrative that re-framed five millennia of recorded history in order to explain the ultimate triumph of the maritime economies. The result of such revision is to underestimate and distort the role of continental Eurasia in the shaping of the three key civilizations that developed independently and remain distinct: the Mediterranean, the Indic and the Sinic. Only by a fuller reappraisal of the linkages of trade and war dominated by the Eurasian central forces for most of history can we understand the global pressures perennially at work. By setting the continental and the maritime in their total historical context and recognizing their importance today, we can better explain what is happening and what is likely to continue to influence the course of world history.

The article studies the new situation in international long distance trade after the emergence of new superpower - Arab Caliphate - in Eurasian overland tracks of the Great Silk Road. The stages of Arab advancement along trade routes and outcomes of their contestation with the strong tribal confederations of Turkic nomads in Central Asia and the Caucasus are highlighted. A special focus is made upon the relationship of Arabs with Khazar Turks who have endured severe clashes with strongest army of the time in the region. Khazar kingdom survived and even expanded its control over the tracks of international trade in the western part of Eurasia. The research describes the way how trade partnership between Arabs and Turks was shaped in the aftermath of military clashes. Existing scholarly views on the role of Khazar in Silk Road are reviewed and unattended evidence of Arab sources are involved to support concluding points that Khazar state managed to consolidate various actors for maintenance of international trade such as so called Rus warriors and merchants in the west of Volga, nomadic tribes in Eurasian steppes, and Jewish trading gild named ar-rahdaniyya in Arab sources. It is asserted that Khazar state since the second half of 9th century through its decline in mid 10th century not only served as transit space for goods of exporting countries but also exported goods of its own crafts and natural resources.
