JOURNALS

European Review of Public Law

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 and beyond.

To chronicle the evolution, amongst other, of national public law, 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.

Additionally, one ERPL issue per year is dedicated to the annual conference of the European Group of Public Law (EGPL), which focuses on a contemporary public law topic of global significance, offering both European and international perspectives. Recent conferences have covered the following topics:

  • The State as Protector/Guarantor of Last Resort;
  • Climate Change and Public Law: Challenges, Policies, Future Perspectives; and
  • Digital Transformation: Technology, Fundamental Rights, Public Administration.

Central and Eastern European Legal Studies

The EPLO also publishes the Central and Eastern European Legal Studies, which was launched in 2013 as a biannual periodical publication and aims at providing academics coming from Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, as well as academics from other countries specializing in this field the opportunity to come together and exchange views on region-specific public law issues.

European Journal of History and Culture​

​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 is a biannual edition, seeking to address key issues and current scientific discussions, and is published both online and in print. According to the EPLO philosophy and tradition, it welcomes contributions which adopt a comparative approach and favor 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.

European Politeia

​The European Politeia is a journal 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 journal is oriented towards offering a Greek perspective on the European project and European values.

SERIES

The commitment of the EPLO Publications to expand their scope to further areas of interest, in addition to their main subject matter of public law, has also been implemented through two Series launched in 2018: the Mediterranean Agenda by the EPLO Institute for the Mediterranean and The Institute for Justice and Growth Series by the Institute for Justice and Growth of the EPLO.

Mediterranean Agenda

​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

​The Institute for Justice and Growth Series is the result of the initiative of the Institute for Justice and Growth of the EPLO. This Series collects and reflects the suggestions, contributions, 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.

SPECIAL EDITIONS

The European Review of Public Law is accompanied by 4 special editions:

European Public Law Series

​The European Public Law Series (EPLS), created in 1998, is constituted of books, monographs and essays purporting to contribute to the creation of a European public law, in particular through the systematic study of the different aspects of national legal systems in the EU Member States, in the European Union itself, as well as of their evolution and their convergence.

Academy of European Public Law Series

​The Academy of European Public Law Series was launched in 2009, aiming to publish the most representative results of the work of the graduates of the Academy of European Public Law and to demonstrate and showcase the quality of the work done in this significant academic institution.

European Papers

​A series of succinct monographs, European Papers (first published in 2001) focuses on the institutional elements of the European Union, structures and practices of European governance and patterns of continuity and change reflected in the development of European Union law.

European Environmental Law Series

​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.

Commitment to Linguistic Diversity

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 European Review of Public Law expresses its commitment to linguistic diversity by accepting submissions in seven languages: English, French, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, German and Italian, whereas the Central and Eastern European Legal Studies 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.

BOOKS RECEIVED

In a separate section of the European Review of Public Law, law books by publishers such as Bloomsbury Publishing, Edward Elgar Publishing, Hart Publishing, etc. are presented.
