Journal overview

Central Europe publishes original research articles on the history, literature, visual arts, culture and music of the region, from the Middle Ages to the present. We welcome specialized examinations of the different traditions that make up ‘central Europe’ (a term that can be understood in different senses) and, in particular, contributions that cross over the linguistic, ethnic, and cultural boundaries so salient to the region. Interdisciplinary approaches, as well as reflection on the particular challenges this region raises for relevant academic practices, are also encouraged. The journal does not publish articles on economics or that focus on the Balkans or Russia. The journal includes a full section of book reviews, as well as occasional discussion forums. From time to time calls for papers for themed issues will be issued. The editors welcome suggestions for such special issue topics.

Central Europe is published twice a year as a refereed journal cited in the major abstracting and indexing services. The journal is edited in association with University College London, School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES), and grew out of The Masaryk Journal established by Katya A. M. Kocourek at SSEES in 1997.
