Cold War History publishes the very best research and emerging scholarship on all aspects of the global Cold War and its legacies. The journal’s editorial board is open to manuscripts written from any historical approach based on empirical historical research. Articles must draw on primary sources such as those from official archives, non-state archives, private collections, cultural outputs, or oral histories. The journal encourages all histories of the Cold War including cultural, diplomatic, political, social and transnational histories. It is particularly interested in research that attempts to de-centre the era and pays special attention to the role of Europe and the Global South.
Submissions which use sources and secondary literature in multiple languages are especially welcome, as are those written by scholars whose first language is not English. To that end, Cold War History is seeking to increase the representation of scholars for whom English is not their first language and offers enhanced editing services for promising submissions from such scholars.
In addition to research articles, Cold War History also publishes book reviews and other short form pieces: archival guides and reflections on documents and methods, under ‘ Research Notes’; and roundtables and essays on the state of the field, under ‘ Conversations on Cold War History’.
Cold War History is based in the Department of International History at the London School of Economics. For further information, please contact the Managing Editors at [email protected]. Please note however that all submissions should be made online at the Cold War History Scholar One Manuscripts site. All research articles published in the journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.
