About the Journal

The Journal of European Economic History is a quarterly founded in 1972 by economic historians Luigi De Rosa (1922-2004) and Peter Mathias (1928-2016).

Since its inception, the mission of the Journal has been to “reknit the common threads of European economic history” both at the national level and at that of the European Economic Community, now the European Union.

The study of the relations between Europe and the rest of the world, with special focus on China, Latin America and the U.S., has also been developed as globalisation and the interest in global history deepened.

Over fifty years, supported by an authoritative International Board, the Journal has published more than five hundred high-quality articles and more than a thousand reviews, achieving global recognition and readership.

The Journal is a peer-reviewed open-access publication, and the papers received are submitted to double-blind refereeing.

The referral process is blind and is supervised by the Editors, and the National and International Boards.

The Journal is now published by Forum Editrice Universitaria Udinese (Forum - Udine University Press).
