East European Politics and Societies Journal
East European Politics and Societies (EEPS) is an international, interdisciplinary journal for the examination of critical issues related to Eastern Europe. It serves as a forum for current work in East Europe studies, including comparative analyses and theoretical issues with implications for other world areas. Its geographical scope is the area that lies between Germany to the west and Russia to the east, and includes the Baltic region and the Balkans. The editorial board is composed of distinguished historians, cultural historians, literary scholars, political scientists, anthropologists, and social scientists.

Submit to the journal
EEPS primarily publishes original research articles of 7,000-9,000 words (authors should inquire first if a potential submission exceeds 10,000 words).
In addition to stand-alone articles, EEPS is open to publishing clusters of papers dedicated to specific themes. To select the best proposals, the editors will evaluate cluster proposals on a rolling basis. Cluster proposals should include a tentative cluster title, a rationale that positions the cluster among comparable studies, an explanation of the contribution to knowledge, abstracts of all contributions, biographical sketches of the contributors, and a timetable. Detailed guidelines on proposal preparation and assessment criteria are available on the journal's website.
The journal does not normally publish book reviews, but may consider proposals for review essays, particularly relating to important work published in the region. EEPS sponsors the annual Michael Henry Heim Translation Prize for the best collegial translation of a scholarly article from an East European language into English; the winning article is published in the journal.
