While being a generalist sociology journal that is open to all sociological research, European Societies has a focus on the socio-economic and socio-political challenges that European societies face and on all aspects of European social life and socioculture. We welcome all sociological methods and all approaches in sociological theory. Articles may approach their topics in a historical perspective. Comparative research involving Europe as a whole or specific European countries makes for a significant part of our published articles. We also welcome comparisons with societies beyond Europe. Although anchored in sociology, European Societies welcomes contributions from any discipline, provided that they substantially advance sociological knowledge or extensively exploit that knowledge to the benefit of other approaches
