European Societies

Aims & Scope

European Societies is a high quality academic journal that publishes sociological research on Europe.

The journal is linked to the European Sociological Association and its aims and objectives.

As a direct consequence of this link, the journal contributes to plurality and openness within the discipline of sociology.

It also observes high ethical standards in academic independence and the double-blind review of submitted articles.

European Societies publishes research from every part of the planet on all aspects of European social life and socioculture.

It welcomes all sociological methods and all approaches in sociological theory.

The focus is on addressing the specific contribution of contemporary European societies to the global condition, as well as on the serious socioeconomic and socio-political challenges that European societies face.

Articles may address these themes in a historical perspective.

Comparative research involving Europe as a whole or specific European countries makes for a significant part of the publications.

The journal also welcomes comparisons with societies beyond Europe.

Although epistemically anchored in sociology, European Societies welcomes contributions from any discipline, provided that they substantially advance sociological knowledge on Europe or extensively exploit that knowledge to the benefit of other epistemic fields.
