Contemporary Southeastern Europe

Aims & Scope

Contemporary Southeastern Europe is an interdisciplinary journal covering the recent past and the present in Southeastern Europe. We welcome contributions from a variety of disciplines, such as political science, history, law, sociology, economics, cultural studies, gender studies and anthropology, as well as interdisciplinary research. In accord with the interdisciplinary scope of our journal, we encourage authors to write their texts in a manner that is accessible to different disciplines and to avoid excessive jargon. The geographical scope essentially includes the following countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Slovenia, Serbia, and Turkey. The journal particularly welcomes research that situates these countries in a broader inter- and transnational context. The contemporary focus of our journal ranges from the end of state socialism to the present day. Nonetheless, the journal strives to publish historical research too if it aids the understanding of current affairs. In addition to research articles, the journal publishes analyses of current events and elections.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
