Articles submitted to the Journal should be original contributions. Manuscripts are welcome on all areas covered by the Journal’s scope and aims. If another version of the article is under consideration by another publication, or has been, or will be published elsewhere, authors should clearly indicate this at the time of submission. Authors should check that their article, including notes and references, conforms to the journal’s style.

Practical information:

·Articles should be between 8,000-9,000 words (including notes and references).

·The article should begin with an italicized summary of around 100 words describing the main arguments and conclusions of the article. Please also include a set of relevant keywords.

·The electronic manuscript submission form has to be fully completed and sent along with the article (this form can be downloaded from ELIAMEP’s website).

·Authors must use endnotes rather than footnotes. Notes should be consecutively numbered through the text with a numeral corresponding to a list of notes at the end of the article.

·Each figure and table must be numbered, titled and sourced. Diagrams, charts and graphs should be saved additionally in separate files. These should be submitted in black and white. Tints should be avoided; use open patterns instead. Tables should also be saved individually as text using the appropriate function in your word processor. If this function is unavailable, tables should be prepared using tabs.

·If copyrighted material is used in the article, it is the author’s responsibility to obtain permission from the copyright holder. Confirmation of this should be provided on a separate sheet included with the diskette.

·Authors are entitled to a copy of the issue in which their article appears and an ‘e-print’ of their article.

·The copyright of articles published in the journal rests with the publisher.

Journal Style

Spelling: British punctuation and spelling should be used throughout. Note, however, that we require ‘-ize’ endings rather than ‘-ise’ (e.g. ‘organize’ and ‘organization’ rather than ‘organise’ and ‘organisation’). Dates should be in the form 5 September 1990; 1994–98; the 1990s. There should be minimal use of points and capital letters.

Subheadings: main subheadings should be in capital letters ranged left above the section; subsubheadings should have capital letters only for major words, be italic and ranged left and above the section. Third level subheadings should be italic and run on as part of the paragraph (with a space above) and typed with a capital letter only for the first word.

Quotations: these should be in single quotation marks, double within single. Quotations of five lines or more should be indented without quotes.

Endnotes: there should be a maximum of 12-20 endnotes, numbered consecutively throughout the article.

Bibliographical details at the end of the article should be included in a section headed REFERENCES. Please use the Chicago referencing system:
