The Journal of Modern Italian Studies (JMIS) is the leading English language forum for debate and discussion on modern Italy. This peer-reviewed journal publishes four issues a year, each containing scholarly articles, book reviews and review essays relating to the political, economic, cultural, and social history of modern Italy from 1700 to the present. Many issues are thematically organized and the JMIS is especially committed to promoting the study of modern and contemporary Italy in international and comparative contexts. As well as specialists and researchers, the JMIS addresses teachers, educators and all those with an interest in contemporary Italy and its history.

For these reasons, the JMIS seeks to:

• make the newest scholarship on Italy available to an international public
• set the Italian experience in its comparative and international contexts
• provide extensive critical guidance to new studies on Italian history, politics, culture, and society

The Journal of Modern Italian Studies is published in English, and contains Italian as well as English abstracts. There is a particularly extensive book review section, providing critical reviews of recent publications in the field, with more than twenty new titles reviewed in each issue.
