Comparative Southeast European Studies
Published by Walter de Gruyter
ISSN : 2701-8199 eISSN : 2701-8202
Abbreviation : Comp. Southeast Eur. Stud.
Aims & Scope
The quarterly Comparative Southeast European Studies (COMPSEES) evolved into its new format from that of its predecessor Südosteuropa.
Journal of Politics and Society.
From 2021 onwards, it is published both digitally, in Open Access, and in print, thereby becoming more easily accessible and even more visible internationally, not least in Southeastern Europe itself.
Before long, a digital repository of Südosteuropa will be available to everyone.
Comparative Southeast European Studies will continue to be a forum for scholars in Political Science, Sociology, Contemporary History, Anthropology, Economics, International Relations, Law Studies, Gender Studies, Media Studies, Cultural Studies, and related disciplines.
Taking a comparative and broad multidisciplinary perspective it will explore critical processes and societal issues related to the area bounded by the eastern Adriatic, the eastern Mediterranean, and the Black Sea.
We use two formats to showcase research.
There are peer-reviewed research articles and a shorter format open to other text genres, which are presented under headings such as ‘Commentary’, ‘Interview’, ‘Background’, ‘Policy Analysis’, ‘Film in Focus’, ‘Debate’, ‘Spotlight’, ‘Book Symposium’, ‘The Making of...’, for example.
This is a flexible section allowing us to address more immediately pertinent political, social, cultural, and academic matters.
In addition, the Journal also features a book review section.
