CfP: Journal of East European and Asian Studies

The editors of the Journal of East European and Asian Studies (JEEAS) are looking for contributors for its inaugural edition. The submitted works should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words in length (bibliography included). Contributions are welcome from professors and scholars in the field, as well as from PhD and post-doctoral students. The Journal may also consider exceptional contributions from Masters level students.

The Journal of East European and Asian Studies (JEEAS) is a new academic publication issued by the Center for East European and Asian Studies (CSEEA), based in Bucharest and affiliated with the National School of Political and Administrative Studies. The Journal aims to provide a rigorous academic perspective on key security and political issues affecting the East European and Post-Soviet Space. Its goal is to bring together scholars and students of East European and Eurasian Studies, and to provide them with an intellectual platform for a substantial and meaningful exchange of ideas.

Given the rising importance of Romania as an actor on the European stage, and its key strategic location at the border of the Euro-Atlantic community, we believe this Journal is a welcome contribution to the academic field, helping to strengthen the role of Bucharest as a policy as well as academic focal point in the East European and Asian space.

The Journal aims to support both established scholars in the field of East European and Asian Studies, as well as advanced students in the field. It is therefore an opportunity for new scholars to become known and gain a reputation in academia.

Topics:

The first issue will include two major sections:

1) Security threats in the wider Black Sea Region. This section is specific to the first issue, and aims to present various approaches towards security issues in the wider Black Sea Region.

2) Security and Political Issues in Eastern Europe and Asia. This section will be a permanent one. Any articles discussing topics of interest to the region of Eastern Europe, Russia and the post-Soviet republics, including their relations with Europe, East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, or the Middle East, are appropriate for this section.
