The European Economic History Journal aims to advance scholarly understanding of the economic development of Europe within both its continental and global contexts. The Journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality, original research that explores the historical evolution of European economies, institutions, markets, and societies from medieval times to the contemporary period.

The central aim of the Journal is to reconnect and reinterpret the common threads of European economic history, emphasizing both national experiences and the broader processes of European integration, including the formation and evolution of the European Economic Community and the European Union. By doing so, the Journal seeks to deepen knowledge of how Europe’s diverse economies have interacted, converged, and diverged over time.

The Journal encourages comparative, quantitative, and interdisciplinary approaches to economic history, welcoming contributions from economics, history, political science, sociology, geography, and related fields. It places special emphasis on the role of institutions, finance, trade, industry, technology, labor, and demography in shaping long-term economic change.

In recognition of Europe’s historical engagement with the wider world, the Journal also promotes research on Europe’s economic relations with other regions, particularly China, Latin America, the United States, Africa, and Asia. Topics related to globalization, imperial and post-colonial economies, international trade, migration, capital flows, and technological diffusion are central to the Journal’s global perspective.

The  European Economic History publishes original research articles, review essays, and critical book reviews that contribute to debates in economic history and global historical analysis. All submissions are subject to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure academic excellence, originality, and methodological soundness.

Through its commitment to scholarly rigor and international dialogue, the Journal serves as a leading forum for understanding Europe’s economic past and its continuing influence on the modern global economy.
