Product Description

Comparative Balkan Politics (CBP) is a new annual journal in the field of comparative politics and international studies with a focus on Southeast Europe. CBP defines its scope broadly to include comparative studies in politics, economy, and social science in all of the Balkans and Southeast Europe, as well as in countries that have strong ties to the region, and comparative studies of countries that give new insights to developments in the Balkans. CBP aims to publish original articles that give new insights into Balkan politics in order to promote better understanding and informed debate on political processes in Southeast Europe.

Comparative Balkan Politics is now accepting manuscripts for its forthcoming issue, on the topic “The Presidentialization of Political Parties – Limiting Internal Party Democracy”. We welcome both theoretical and empirical research articles, single case studies, as well as comparative perspectives. Research articles not focusing on presidentialization of political parties, as well as review articles, will be accepted within the general section of the journal.
