This peer-reviewed series publishes high-quality research on various historical, social and cultural aspects of Central and Eastern Europe. Going beyond the traditional “area studies” perspective, it aims at stimulating a dialogue and exchange between scholarship produced in and on Central and Eastern Europe and other academic research traditions, in a global context.

The series has an interdisciplinary orientation, including history, anthropology, archaeology, political science, sociology, legal studies, economics, religion, literary studies, cultural studies, gender studies, theatre, film and media studies, and art history, including monographs, collections of studies, and editions of source materials. Comparative studies at various sub-national, national and trans-national levels are especially welcome.

Pasts, Inc. is the academic host of the series which is edited in cooperation with its publisher, Brill.
