Aims & Scope

The journal Balcanica an annual, peer-reviewed journal of the interdisciplinary Institute for Balkan Studies of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SASA). It is uniquely universal in its treatment of all topics relating to the Balkans in terms of both chronology and scholarly field. It features original research from prehistoric antiquity to contemporary phenomena. We welcome submissions from all disciplines of humanities: archaeology, anthropology, ethnography, history, art history, linguistics, literature, law. These can concern individual Balkan countries or regions, a group of countries or regions, or the region as a whole, or examine different connections between the Balkans, on one hand, and Europe and the world, on the other. Contributions based on interdisciplinary approach are particularly welcomed.
