The aim of the Journal of Modern European
History (JMEH) is to overcome national
boundaries thematically. Edited by historians
from different countries, it is a response to
advancing internationalisation, which is taking
place in thinking and writing about history as
much as anywhere else. The journal sees itself
as a forum for historians all over the world
who share a common interest in the history of
Europe.
With this aim in mind, the journal is governed
by the following principles:
1. Every volume contains a “Forum”, in which
at least one longer contribution discusses
general problems and questions of modern
European history.
2. Every volume is devoted to one broad topic
area, which covers at least three countries
considerably moving beyond the frequent
three-nation comparison between Germany,
France and England. Following the end of the
East-West dichotomy, one of the main aims of
the journal is to bring the academic traditions
of eastern and western Europe closer together.
3. The articles are published in three languages: English, French and German.
4. The journal concentrates on the last three centuries. Topics from the Early Modern period or
those spanning different epochs are by no means excluded.
5. The journal is open to all methodological and theoretical approaches.
6. The journal does not subscribe to any particular or programmatic concept of “Europe”. The
European orientation is thus not designed to be merely Eurocentric; on the contrary, it
emphatically includes comparison with the non-European world in a global perspective.
