Summary/Abstract: Twenty-seven years have passed since the publication of the first issue of East European Politics and Societies. The journal was launched at a time when communist regimes still controlled east European states, but the decay of their might had already become evident and the seeds of change had been planted. Soon after, the wave of democratic revolutions swept the region, followed by a period of transition that was longer and more difficult than expected. At present, eastern Europe is characterized above all by its diversity. The journal has not only borne witness to these tumultuous times, but also, under the capable leadership of our predecessors, has become a central forum for reflection on developments in the region. Our primary goal as its new editors is to maintain the status of EEPS as the leading journal on the area, and to continue its role as a space and a stimulus for the sort of interdisciplinary, comparative, and transnational research that characterizes area studies at its most productive.
