CALL FOR PAPERS
THE FAR RIGHT IN CONTEMPORARY EUROPE
a special issue of the
Journal of Contemporary European Studies
The rise of far right parties in Western and, more recently, Central and Eastern
Europe has received widespread attention in the media and has been the subject
of much academic debate, especially among political scientists. Emmanuel Godin
(University of Portsmouth), Brian Jenkins (University of Leeds) and Andrea
Mammone (University of Leeds/Università di Siena) and will be guest co-editors
of a special issue of the Journal of Contemporary European Studies (JCES) on
the ‘Far Right in Contemporary Europe’ to be published in December 2008.
The JCES (previously Journal of European Area Studies) seeks to provide a forum
for interdisciplinary debate about the theory and practice of area studies as
well as for empirical studies of European societies, politics and cultures. Its
coverage and readership extend broadly across the humanities and social
sciences, and the journal is therefore well-placed to bring a range of
different disciplinary perspectives to bear on this subject.
We therefore welcome contributions from political scientists, sociologists,
historians and all scholars of European studies broadly defined. Papers from
postgraduates working in the above-mentioned areas are also welcomed.
We are interested in both comparative/transnational analyses and national-based
contributions that seek to break away from the exceptionalist parochialism
which so often characterises the focus on individual countries. Articles will
mainly cover contemporary examples, concerning all geographical areas of
relevance in the development of the far right.
Topics may include but are not limited to:
• cross-border interactions and influences
• historical/historiographical perspectives on the far right
• contemporary debates over the representation(s) of the far right
• case studies of parties in local areas
Please send short proposals for papers by e-mail to the addresses below before 1
July 2007
Articles should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words in length, and may also be
submitted as e-mail attachments to the addresses below. Only original works not
published elsewhere will be considered, and all contributions will be
peer-reviewed.
