The Journal of European Integration publishes scholarly work on all aspects of the European integration process. We welcome submissions from a variety of disciplinary or multidisciplinary perspectives, ranging from political science and political economy to public administration, law, history, sociology and cultural studies. However, the primary emphasis is on the discussion of European integration in the fields of political science and international relations.
We understand European integration broadly, as pan-European process rather than merely the European Union, though the majority of our contributions might be devoted to the latter. We also publish comparative studies of federalism, regional integration and other forms of multilateral cooperation, as well as articles dealing with the European Union’s external relations and its global role, be it concerning economic, diplomatic or security relations.
Please note that we cannot accept papers based on mathematical economics or econometrics, and we discourage articles providing descriptive case studies of single countries or regions.
The main purpose of the Journal of European Integration is to serve a broad readership which implies that articles should be of a wider relevance rather than a of a highly technical or narrow nature. The emphasis should be on scholarly work and should provide, in particular, analysis rather than description or assertion. Given our readership, authors are encouraged to write in a clear and accessible style.
Contributions are published in English - please ensure that, if necessary, your contributions are language-checked before publication.
