Disclaimer: The papers published in the Studies in Post-Communism Occasional Papers Series represent the views of their authors and not necessarily those of the Center for Post-Communist Studies or St. Francis Xavier University.

The Studies in Post-Communism Occasional Papers is an anonymously refereed, occasional papers series devoted to publishing scholarship across all fields related to communist and post-communist countries. Launched in January 2003 under the aegis of the Centre for Post-Communist Studies at St. Francis Xavier University, the series aims to publish high quality studies in all disciplines of the social sciences and humanities.

The series editors invite scholars to submit original English-language manuscripts in view of publication. We aim to publish around five papers a year and offer submitters exceptionally rapid response. Unlike journal publishing, our occasional papers are published individually, as soon as the review process is completed and the papers are accepted. Not having to wait for an entire journal issue to be completed eliminates the usually long delay separating the acceptance of the paper and its appearance in print. This kind of publishing ensures that new ideas, theories and investigations are promptly disseminated and made available to the academic and policy-making community, giving scholars the tremendous advantage of having their materials emerge in a timely fashion. The papers are published in both electronic and hard-copy versions, and are regularly advertised and represented at national and international conventions related to communist and post-communist studies.

We accept manuscripts of roughly 35-100 pages that are longer than the usual journal articles but do not warrant their publication as an individual monograph. All submissions are promptly sent out for review and decisions are based on the reports of two referees. The refereeing process is completely blind, with the names of the reviewers and the author being fully protected. Reviewers are asked for both an overall evaluation of the manuscript and specific comments and suggestions which are passed on to the authors. The editors endeavor to complete the refereeing process within the span of a four-month period.

The Studies in Post-Communism Occasional Papers series offers scholars from both social sciences and humanities a flexible, efficient and recognized vehicle for publication of high quality manuscripts. The editors welcome submissions or queries to:
