International Conference

- October 5–6, 2023
- University of Bucharest, Romania
- Submission deadline: April 15, 2023

We invite submissions of abstracts for an international conference to take place in 5–6 October 2023 at the University of Bucharest, that reflects on the cultural relations of the state-socialist countries between the 1950s and 1980s, from the perspective of “cultural internationalism” and “cultural transnationalism” within the state-socialist world, and beyond.

The global economic ‘long boom’ from World War Two to the end of the 1980s is increasingly understood as a distinct historical period in which tripartite cooperation, Keynesian economic policies and relative peace enabled economic development and significant increases in living standards.

CONVOCATORIA al “Primer Encuentro en Uruguay de Historiadores/as e Investigadores/as sobre anarquismos”

The Journal for the History of Environment and Society (JHES) aims to be a leading online and open-access periodical that covers all aspects of environmental history conceived in its broadest sense. The journal encourages high-quality scholarship which focuses on relations between environmental changes and social-historical context. Interregional and international comparative articles receive special attention.

The peer-reviewed series Critiques and Alternatives to Capitalism comprises rigorous scholarly books, accessible to general readers, that aim to address the main issues of capitalism and to indicate possible alternatives. The series publishes monographs, edited collections, and translations of volumes already issued in other languages by both prestigious and emerging international experts, in the fields of political theory, sociology, political philosophy, and heterodox economics.

We are happy to announce the publication of the volume
