Health communication is a field of research which deals with the social conditions, consequences and significance of communication that is related and relevant to health, both intentional and unintentional, interpersonal, media-related and public. The field of health communication, which emerged in Britain and the US several decades ago, has established itself in German-speaking countries in recent years and yielded a vast number of studies on the interplay between health, illness and communication. The series contains up-to-date studies in German or English which are devoted to this subject area and which consider communication and health from a communication studies perspective.

The series of publications entitled "Gesellschaftsanalyse. Ungleichheit und soziale Gerechtigkeit | Social Analysis. Inequality and Social Justice" is dedicated to analysing the structures and dynamics of market-oriented societies. It therefore focuses on diverse manifestations of social injustice as well as questions of social justice. In addition to theoretical essays, the series includes empirical studies (of either a quantitative, qualitative or methodologically integrative nature) which, for example, highlight the birth of and the institutions in contemporary societies or examine their members’ objective situations and subjective sensitivities by either focusing on one country or by comparing two or more different ones. This interdisciplinary and internationally oriented series welcomes submissions of monographs and anthologies written in either German or English.

EU-Turkey relations have a long historic trajectory. Turkey is in future likely to remain, despite political tensions, an important country for the EU in economic, political and geostrategic terms. On the one hand, recent developments affecting the EU have motivated the Heads of State or Government to rediscover Turkey‘s relevance as ‚key strategic partner‘. On the other hand, prospects of Turkey‘s accession to the EU have reached an all-time low in the light of Turkey distancing itself from the political accession criterion as well as the multiple internal crises the EU has been confronted with. This renders EU-Turkey relations a highly topical issue for academic research. The Centre for Turkey and European Union Studies (CETEUS) aims at providing a framework for publications dealing with Turkey, the European Union as well as EU/German-Turkish relations regarding multiple thematic dimensions as well as geographic contexts including the neighbourhood and the global scene.
