Apart from focusing on a particular theme (see below for forthcoming issues), each issue also has non-thematic articles in the context of European Area Studies. Our aim is to give space to a critical, non-Eurocentric debate about Area Studies theory and practice, and we aim to reflect this in the reviews section. In their critical reading of books , reviewers should feel free to question the hegemonic order from a variety of different and radical perspectives. For information about our editorial policy, past and future issues, please visit the web-site for our latest published issue, 15/3/2007 with its special focus on ‘Youth Culture in Europe’: http://www.informaworld.com/openurl?genre=issue&issn=1478-2804&volume=15&issue=3&uno_jumptype=alert&uno_alerttype=new_issue_alert,email) Reviews are usually between 700-1000 words. Deadlines for reviews are 1st of April 2008 (for 2/2008) or 1st August 2008 (for 3/2008). Our forthcoming issues include – as usual – general European studies articles and also focus on the following specific themes: - The Political Economy of Poverty (1/2008) - The Balkan and the EU (2/2008) - Parties of the Far Right (3/2008) If you are interested in reviewing one of the books on the list, please contact me directly; I'll send the book to you, with our guidelines and some examples of previous reviews.
