Comparative European Politics

期刊简介：Comparative European Politics (CEP) arises out of a unique editorial partnership linking political scientists in Europe and North America. CEP defines its scope broadly to include the comparative politics and political economy of the whole of contemporary Europe within and beyond the European Union, the processes of European integration and enlargement and the place of Europe and European states within international/global political and economic dynamics.As the most regionally integrated political and economic space within the global system, Europe presents a particular opportunity to political scientists to explore the dynamic relationship between transnational, international and domestic processes and practices. The editors welcome original theoretical, empirical and theoretically-informed pieces which deal with these relationships.Such issues pose awkward questions about the limitations of existing disciplinary perspectives and theoretical conventions, requiring theoretical and methodological innovation and an ability to develop genuinely interdisciplinary approaches. CEP aims to publish exceptional work prepared to rise to this challenge.The journal is rigorously peer-reviewed. It neither reflects nor represents any particular school or approach, nor does it restrict itself to particular methodologies or theoretical perspectives. Rather, whilst promoting interdisciplinarity and a greater dialogue between the various sub-disciplines of European political analysis, Comparative European Politics publishes the best and most original work in the field. It publishes substantial articles marking either core empirical developments, theoretical innovation or, preferably, both. The journal particularly encourages pieces which seek to develop the link between substantive empirical investigations and theoretical elaboration and those which transcend the artificial separation of domestic, comparative and international analysis. The editors publish a limited number of debate pieces and review articles related to issues of contemporary theoretical and empirical controversy. Whether solicited or unsolicited these are exposed to the same exacting process of peer review.

【译文】比较欧洲政治（CEP）源于一个独特的编辑伙伴关系，将欧洲和北美政治学家联系起来。CEP将其范围广泛地定义为包括整个当代欧洲的比较政治和政治经济学，以及欧洲联盟内部和之外的欧洲一体化和扩大进程，以及欧洲和欧洲国家在国际/全球政治和经济动态中的地位。作为全球系统中区域一体化程度最高的政治和经济空间，欧洲为政治学家提供了一个特别的机会，去探索跨国、国际和国内过程和实践之间的动态关系。编辑们欢迎原创的理论、实证和理论指导性的作品，这些作品处理这些关系。这些问题提出了关于现有学科视角和理论惯例局限性的尴尬问题，需要理论和方法的创新以及发展真正跨学科方法的能力。CEP旨在发表能够应对这一挑战的杰出作品。该期刊经过严格的同行评审。它既不反映也不代表任何特定的学派或方法，也不限制自己于特定的方法论或理论视角。相反，在促进欧洲政治分析各个子学科的跨学科性和更大对话的同时，比较欧洲政治（CEP）发表该领域的最佳和最原创的作品。它发表大量文章，标志着核心经验发展、理论创新，或者最好是两者兼而有之。该期刊特别鼓励那些寻求发展实质性经验调查和理论阐述之间联系的作品，以及那些超越国内、比较和国际分析人为分离的作品。编辑们发表有限数量的辩论文章和与当代理论和实证争议问题相关的评论文章。无论是有求于还是无求于，这些文章都受到同样严格的同行评审过程。
