Europa XXI

Europa XXI encourages the submission of a variety of multidisciplinary analytical, theoretical and methodological articles, in fields ranging from socioeconomic geography, spatial planning, transport geography, regional studies, cohesion policy and political science and economy, through to sociology and cultural studies. Our journal’s main purpose is to discuss territorial aspects of development processes, and to set those various processes and policies against their implications in practice. The focus here is on the dynamics of pan-European and EU systems, as well as those in the CEECs; or even on case studies relating to single regions, where these can prove significant from a global perspective. From time to time, individual issues of Europa XXI also concentrate on particular themes (such as public services or border studies).

Europa XXI has been indexed in the following databases: SCOPUS (since July 2021), ERIH PLUS (since November 2021), RCIN, Crossref, Europeana, Academia BN and BazEkon.

Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission. If you require any further information or help, please contact us.
