Instructions for authors

Manuscripts will be considered for publication on the basis of their contributions to the current debates on new regionalism, post-nationalism and trans-Atlantic theories in an interdisciplinary fashion.

The peer review process will be as follows:

1. Upon reception, each manuscript will be assessed for suitability prior to in-depth review by the editor.
2. Once it is approved for review, the manuscripts will be blind peer-reviewed by scholars with competence and specialization in each of the fields.
3. At this point, each reader will submit a brief report of the manuscript and the editor will make the final decision.
   *Articles sent back to authors to be revised and resubmitted should be revised in a timely manner.
4. The editor will have the final decision on accepting the manuscript for its publication and the issue where the manuscript fits better.
5. The editor will also have the final decision on special issues of the journal, proposed by internal editorial board members or external scholars.
