This series documents research in the disciplines of sociology, history, cultural studies, political science and religious studies, as well as at the points where these disciplines overlap, which deals with societies in Central and Eastern Europe along with those in Central Asia. Since the beginning of the societal transformations at the end of the 1980s, one can observe that quite different developments have taken place in the aforementioned societies, whose fundamental characteristics lie within a very wide range of intensive modernisation and differentiation up to (new) forms of collectivistic orientation. Here, disciplinary and interdisciplinary publications, also with a critical approach, contribute to the discourse in social science on structures, actors and processes in the regions in question. The peculiarity of the series is that, in particular, authors from Eastern Europe are invited to publish work in it. Through their internal perspectives, these authors can contribute to substantially expanding expert knowledge on this subject area.
