About
Reviews & Critical Commentary (CritCom; ISSN 2327-2791) is a research-based, online forum of critical review, informed commentary, and public discussion. The site focuses on topics in European history, society and politics, and is aimed at an educated, interdisciplinary audience interested in European affairs. The goal of the forum is to facilitate the dissemination and assessment of high-quality research on Europe, as well as to provide a suitable space for the discussion of that research and its importance.
