Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Osteuropa focuses on contemporary political, social, and historical developments in Eastern Europe. Recent articles discuss the erosion of institutions and leadership in Russia, the geopolitical dynamics in the South Caucasus involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia, and Turkey, and Hungary's political direction. The journal also examines Belarus's relationship with Russia and its internal societal struggles, Poland's political polarization, and the historical memory and reappraisal of violence in Eastern Europe, particularly concerning Germany's past. It addresses themes of authoritarianism, national identity, and the instrumentalization of history and education for political mobilization in the region.
