Résumé

This dossier is devoted to the historical region of Semirechye, which is nowadays divided between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The articles presented here originated in the international conference entitled “Semirechye in an era of global changes (mid-19th – early 20th centuries),” organised in July 2024 in Bishkek by the French Institute for Central Asian Studies (IFEAC), the Institute of History and Area Studies of the Balasagyn Kyrgyz National University and the Zhamgerchinov Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic. This conference and dossier were prepared in collaboration with our late colleague Turatbek Syrdybaev, to whom this issue is dedicated. I would also like to thank Nazira Momosheva, Associate Professor in the Department of General History at the Kyrgyz National University, for her invaluable assistance.
