Dear Reader,

today it is with great pleasure that I can announce the publication of the Proceedings of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the PIAC:

Religion and State in the Altaic World

Proceedings of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Permanent International Altaistic Conference (PIAC), Friedensau, Germany, August 18–23, 2019

I wish to thank all contributors, and my special thanks goes to De Gruyter, the publisher. De Gruyter has acquired the Klaus Schwarz Verlag, owned by the late Gerd Winkelhane, and continues to support for publishing selected PIAC Proceedings under the “Edition Klaus Schwarz” label.
