Contemporary European History

Aims & Scope

Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present.

By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage.

It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis.

One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor.

The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
