Acta Universitatis Carolinae – Studia Territorialia is a leading peer-reviewed academic journal in the Czech Republic focusing on Area Studies. It covers transnational contemporary history and current developments in North America, Europe, and post-Soviet Eurasia. The journal attracts an international academic community interested in research on memory and reconciliation, the public use of history, migration, international relations and border studies, as well as other themes that reflect broader socio-cultural and political processes and the transformation of the studied regions. Given the journal’s transnational focus, its common denominator is an interdisciplinary approach to the conceptualization of its chosen research topics, which reflect current scholarly debates in historiography and the social sciences.
