The book series New Europes aims to provide a new understanding of Europe's past and present in the face of current crises such as Russia's war against Ukraine, climate change, the post-pandemic recovery, and the rise of new forms of authoritarianism. These challenges call for multidisciplinary, transnational, historical and critical approaches to existing paradigms for thinking about Europe. The editors encourage authors to revisit established narratives of European, national and subnational histories, to correct the neglect of geographical areas such as Eastern Europe in general studies of Europe, and to seek out new methodologies for interpreting documentary evidence. Books in the series are accompanied by richly commented selections of primary sources for independent study, alongside co-authored as well as single-authored books on topical issues. Edited by a group of scholars from History, Political Science, Gender Studies, and Literary Studies, the series aims to serve three sets of readers: the general public interested in contextualising present conflicts; readers seeking to deepen their expertise of modern European society in global contexts; and those involved in education at the level of schools as well as higher education, looking for inspirations and approaches in research and teaching of European history.
The series is edited by The University of New Europe, represented by Jan C. Behrends, Dina Gusejnova, Alexander Etkind, Mykola Makhortykh, Andrea Petö, Ellen Rutten, Dorine Schellens, and Philipp Schmädeke.
