European Foreign Affairs Review

Aims & Scope

The European Foreign Affairs Review is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal specialising in the role of Europe in the world, and in particular its position and policies in relation to third States and international institutions.

The Review focuses on the political, legal, economic, social and cultural aspects of the EU’s external action.

The Review functions as a multi-disciplinary medium for the understanding and analysis of the external relations of the European Union.

It primarily publishes solid, original, and research-based academic articles, but it also seeks to be a forum for an exchange of views from practice.

Contributions by early-career scholars are welcome.

The Review aims at meeting the needs of both the academic and the practitioner (government officials throughout the world dealing with EU matters, parliamentarians, EU officials, officials of international organizations, executives of multinational corporations, specialized journalists and policy-makers in general).

Authors should ensure that their contributions will be understandable also to readers outside their specific field of expertise.
