This volume is the conference proceedings of the NATO ARW during August 2001 at Kananaskis Village‎,‎ Canada on ‎"‎New Techniques in Topological Quantum Field Theory‎"‎‎.‎ This conference brought together specialists from a number of different fields all related to Topological Quantum Field Theory‎.‎ The theme of this conference was to attempt to find new methods in quantum topology from the interaction with specialists in these other fields‎.‎ The featured articles include papers by V‎.‎ Vassiliev on combinatorial formulas for cohomology of spaces of Knots‎,‎ the computation of Ohtsuki series by N‎.‎ Jacoby and R‎.‎ Lawrence‎,‎ and a paper by M‎.‎ Asaeda and J‎.‎ Przytycki on the torsion conjecture for Khovanov homology by Shumakovitch‎.‎ Moreover‎,‎ there are articles on more classical topics related to manifolds and braid groups by such well known authors as D‎.‎ Rolfsen‎,‎ H‎.‎ Zieschang and F‎.‎ Cohen‎.‎
