From the Editor-in-Chief FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF The purpose of this new journal-and of the other four appearing simultaneously (RUSSIAN HISTORY, SOVIET UNION, EAST CENTRAL EUROPE and BYZANTINE STUDIES)-is to provide a North American forum for publications by the international scholarly community. To this end contributions are published in the four traditional lan- guages of scholarly communication: English, French, German and Russian. SOUTH- EASTERN EUROPE/L'EUROPE DU SUD-EST appears as one volume with two to four parts annually. It is hoped that in the near future the journal will become a regular quar- terly containing 150-160 pages of text per issue. At this stage most of the funding comes from paid subscriptions and advertisements; as these revenues increase, so will the jour- nal's frequency and number of pages per issue. In recent years Southeastern European studies by North American scholars have produced impressive monographs and articles, both in quantity and quality. Above all the evidence now bears out the fact that scholarly publications in this area are more bal- anced-in scope and treatment-than most of those of say a decade or so ago. The reasons for this maturing of writing on Southeastern Europe are twofold: first, the research and teaching of the best of the pioneer scholars of the forties and fifties has stimulated ever increasing examples of similar excellence to become, if not the rule, then at least not the exception, in the present day; secondly, changing perspectives in North America itself, especially since the mid-sixties, both in self-evaluation and international relations, have broadened social scientists' horizons and tended to reduce much of the former esoteric character of North American perceptions of Southeastern Europe. As a result, we find substantial numbers of gifted young scholars capable of enriching all the disciplines con- ducting research on Southeastern European affairs.

Abstract

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF The purpose of this new journal-and of the other four appearing simultaneously (RUSSIAN HISTORY, SOVIET UNION, EAST CENTRAL EUROPE and BYZANTINE STUDIES)-is to provide a North American forum for publications by the international scholarly community. To this end contributions are published in the four traditional lan- guages of scholarly communication: English, French, German and Russian. SOUTH- EASTERN EUROPE/L'EUROPE DU SUD-EST appears as one volume with two to four parts annually. It is hoped that in the near future the journal will become a regular quar- terly containing 150-160 pages of text per issue. At this stage most of the funding comes from paid subscriptions and advertisements; as these revenues increase, so will the jour- nal's frequency and number of pages per issue. In recent years Southeastern European studies by North American scholars have produced impressive monographs and articles, both in quantity and quality. Above all the evidence now bears out the fact that scholarly publications in this area are more bal- anced-in scope and treatment-than most of those of say a decade or so ago. The reasons for this maturing of writing on Southeastern Europe are twofold: first, the research and teaching of the best of the pioneer scholars of the forties and fifties has stimulated ever increasing examples of similar excellence to become, if not the rule, then at least not the exception, in the present day; secondly, changing perspectives in North America itself, especially since the mid-sixties, both in self-evaluation and international relations, have broadened social scientists' horizons and tended to reduce much of the former esoteric character of North American perceptions of Southeastern Europe.
