European Review of International Studies (ERIS) seeks to be a journal to which those who wish to know what is happening in ‘European’ International Studies can turn. It aims to achieve this goal by publishing research articles. To the same end the journal contains an extensive review section of monographs published in European languages and review articles of the literature on substantive themes or significant developments in different European academic communities. European Review of International Studies (ERIS) aims: (1) to reflect European specificities and approaches, (2) to be an outlet in English in particular for English-language and non-English language authors, (3) to make the Anglophone world aware of research in other languages, (4) to encourage transdisciplinarity across the social sciences and humanities among those concerned with international studies broadly defined, and (5) to be eclectic in terms of concept, method and approach while retaining rigorous international academic standards.
