Academic Journals

Academic Journals Hosted by the Department of History

Pasts, Inc. hosts a refereed journal, East Central Europe/L'Europe du Centre Est. Eine wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift (hereafter ECE). Through its members of the editorial board, authors and peer reviewers, ECE is an interface for cooperation with various departments at CEU. Attached to the center in 2004, the journal has the ambition to become the journal of CEU as a whole by keeping its historical outlook, and covering general themes in the humanities with a regional focus. ECE, besides appearing in traditional format, also maintains an electronic review database of current academic literature published in the languages of the region, to which students, including MA students, are encouraged to contribute, as frequently as they wish, as part of the accomplishment of their thesis-related tasks. Since 2009, while continuing to be hosted by Pasts, the journal is published by Brill, Leiden, in a new series and format.

Another international refereed journal, the European Review of History / Revue d’histoire européenne (ERH)  has recently decided to combine its move from four to six issues a year with establishing an editorial office at the CEU History Department (in addition to their central office at the University of Manchester, and another, new one at the European University Institute in Florence) as of January 2008. The editing of up to two issues a year of the ERH, a journal committed to providing a forum for the dialogue of historians of diverse backgrounds and generations, is also expected to further contribute to a transnational research environment at the department.
