About the Yearbook
In a time when human rights face increasing challenges and attention to minority issues is often limited, even as societies grow more diverse, there is a continuing need for academic and policy-oriented analyses that review and reflect on the year's key minority developments. While specialized journals provide in-depth studies on specific minority relevant topics, they leave little space for an annual review of the core issues that have shaped minority developments in a specific year.
The Yearbook of Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe aims to create an analytical retrospective and an incentive for future action based on the core developments of the specific year. Recognizing that open science and open access are important tools to mitigate shadow science and false information, our goal is to provide our audience with a valuable source on minority issues in Europe.
Aims
The Yearbook of Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe aims to:
- Provide critical, research-based insights into pressing issues affecting minorities in the specific year.
- Establish a platform for thematic reflection on major trends and developments in this field.
- Serve as a reference point for scholars and practitioners engaged in minority issues.
Content
Articles provide in-depth analyses of selected themes relevant to that year. They follow the standard structure and methodology of a journal article. Their specificity lies in their focus on issues linked to developments in the respective year. Under Articles, there can be a section titled Thematic Focus, combining several articles dedicated to a selected topic that is so striking and relevant that it deserves to be thoroughly examined and presented to the readership.
Commentaries. In addition to articles, the Yearbook offers commentaries: shorter but timely analytical reflections on concrete international and national developments. Two issues are central: there needs to be a concrete event in the specific year, and the short analysis should comply with scientific standards. A commentary could reflect on an international document, court decision, monitoring issue, or similar, or a specific development in a European country (or overseas if particularly relevant), providing a deeper analytical reflection.
Scholars wishing to contribute to the Yearbook of Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe are invited to draft their manuscripts in accordance with the instructions provided under the Author Guidelines section of the website and submit via the JEMIE submission portal.
