Our background
The idea for a 'European' journal in the area of international studies emerged from
discussions among an international staff at a summer school for post doctoral and
research students held at Arcachon in France in 2010 (who constituted themselves
as a Steering Committee). Since then planning meetings have been held, publishers
contacted and collaboration begun with various institutions, notably CERI-Sciences
Po (Paris) and Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) in the UK. There have
been extensive talks with the European International Studies Association (formerly
SGIR). From its starting point at Arcachon, ERIS has become a truly European en-
terprise.
The Raison d'6tre of the new journal is:
i.  To reflect European specificities and approaches in international studies.
ii. To be an outlet in English for non-English language authors in particular, while
not excluding English language authors.
iii. To make the Anglophone world aware of research in other European languages.
iv. To make non-English language authors aware of research in other non-English
academic cultures and languages in Europe.
v.  To encourage multidisciplinarity across the social sciences and humanities
among those concerned with international studies broadly defined.
vi. To be eclectic in terms of concept, method and approach with rigorous interna-
tional academic standards.
We seek to become a journal to which those who wish to know what is happening
in 'European' International Studies can turn. We hope to achieve this goal through
an extensive review section of monographs published in European languages and
review articles of the literature on substantive themes or significant developments
in different European academic communities. Our other principal goal is to publish
original articles and, from time to time, translations of major existing articles not
readily available in English.
ERIS is intended to reflect European approaches to International Studies (it is not a
journal of European studies, nor is it a policy-oriented journal). It is thus comple-
mentary to existing journals. It aims to be the journal of the 800 participants who
attended the SGIR/EISA Conference in Warsaw in September 2013 and of the nu-
merous European ISAs which do not have their own journal in English. This is not
at all to exclude Anglophone writers from Britain, Ireland or elsewhere as a matter
of policy, but the Editors will seek a balanced agenda in order not to undermine the
