Share your perspective on Central and Eastern Europe on our blog CEE New Perspectives!

Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is among the most fascinating, diverse and complex regions in the world. It is also one of the most misunderstood and often overlooked. We seek to change that by enhancing understanding of and engagement with CEE. We cross the borders of academia, journalism and social media and transgress disciplinary conventions to provide new perspectives on and in Central and Eastern Europe.

CEE New Perspective – the companion blog of the academic journal New Perspectives which is published by the Institute of International Relations in Prague – is the perfect platform for YOU to address, promote, critique or engage with the politics, societies and cultures of the region (which we interpret broadly and welcome submissions on issues relating to e.g. Russia, Germany and the Balkans as well as the areas more commonly described as CEE).

We publish original, academically informed, yet accessible commentaries and analyses of contemporary and historical issues relating to the region; high quality journalism and essays (including long-reads); reviews and engagements with regional-relevant literature, visual art, architecture, urbanism, film, music and drama; photo and video essays, poetry and a variety of multi-media.

So if you have an article, review, essay or other contribution to make to our region, send it to
