About EPLO Publications

The EPLO Publications’ centerpiece is the European Review of Public Law, which is a quarterly publication, established in 1989 to create an international forum for analysis and discussion of issues in the development of constitutional and administrative law in Europe.

To chronicle the evolution of national public law in the enlarged geopolitical area of Europe, the Review presents, in each issue, recent developments in the domestic legal order of about 26 countries which are summarized and analyzed by authorities in the field.

The ERPL devotes one issue of its quarterly publication to the conference of the European Group of Public Law (EGPL), which meets annually to discuss a particular public law issue of contemporary importance, with high-quality contributions providing a European as well as an international perspective. Recent conference topics have included: The State as Protector/Guarantor of Last Resort; Climate Change and Public Law: Challenges, Policies, Future Perspectives; Digital Transformation: Technology, Fundamental Rights, Public Administration.

The EPLO is also publishing the Central and Eastern European Legal Studies, which was launched in 2013 as a biannual periodical publication and aims at giving the opportunity to academics coming from CEE countries and also to academics from other countries specializing in this field, to come together and exchange views on public law issues of these countries.

The European Journal of History and Culture constitutes an initiative of the EPLO, operating through its Institute for Humanities and Culture “Nicos Svoronos”, established for the promotion of research and training, inter alia, in history and culture. Despite its name as “European”, the Journal shall be open to all scientific forces of the world.

The European Journal of History and Culture will be a bi-annual edition, seeking to address key issues and current scientific discussions and will be published both online and in print. According to the EPLO philosophy and tradition, it will welcome contributions which adopt comparative approach and favoring both diversity and intergenera­tional dialogue in the fields of history and culture meant in all its forms and expressions, including cultural heritage in its several dimen­sions (tan­gible, natural, intangible). It has been conceived to prioritize issues pertaining to the widest possible geographical area of the Mediterranean, where the ancient civilizations which are now represented in the so-called Greco-Roman civilization were born and also where modern European civilizations took form, in a dialogue with all the cultures of all nations, throughout the cen­turies.

With headquarters at the EPLO Office in Rome, the European Journal of History and Culture invites contributions in eight languages: English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, accompanied by Abstracts in English, and appeals to everyone working in the areas of History or Culture to sub­mit the result of their work for publication.

In the section of periodical publications, the European Politeia is another journal published by the EPLO, under the scientific supervision of the Greek Center of European Studies and Research (EKEME) of the EPLO. This is a European-Greek and Greek-European initiative. It is a Greek initiative but European in its outlook and concerns. The orientation of the journal is to offer a Greek perspective on the European project and European values.

The “Mediterranean Agenda” is an initiative of the Institute for the Mediterranean of the EPLO, and it aims to highlight the Mediterranean dimension amidst the contemporary regional challenges.

“The Institute for Justice and Growth Series” is the result of the initiative of the Institute for Justice and Growth of the EPLO. In this Series will be collected and reflected the suggestions, contribution, thoughts and opinions and, above all, the concrete proposals of the elite personalities of high academic and professional prestige who enjoy international recognition and participate in the Scientific Council of the Institute for Justice and Growth, as well as of those involved and participating in the scientific events organized by the Institute.

The European Environmental Law Series was created in 2009, conscious of the role of comparative environmental law in the development of an effective global environmental protection and management system, focusing on the different aspects of national legal systems in the EU Member States, in the EU itself and worldwide.

Stand-alone publications are also part of the EPLO Publications.

One main distinctive feature of the EPLO Publications is that they give the opportunity to researchers to access an international audience, amongst others by choosing through a variety of languages for their submissions. Thus, the ERPL expresses its commitment to linguistic diversity by accepting submissions in seven languages: English, French, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, German and Italian, whereas the CEELS accepts articles in English, French, Russian, German, Italian as well as in the native languages of authors coming from Central and Eastern European countries (including the Turkish and Greek languages). The same policy is followed by the European Journal of History and Culture, which invites contributions in eight languages: English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
