Today’s fast-changing world demands adaptation and evolution. While embracing change, the Central European University Press (CEU Press) remains true to its core mission. A mission not only to foster scholarship on history, culture, and society, but to inspire and motivate the next generation of scholars and students. A mission that presents a diverse array of forward-thinking research that brings clarity and insight to scholarship and public debate.

Since its inception, the CEU Press has striven to support democratic thought, academic freedom and a diverse set of voices from all disciplines of the humanities, law, and social sciences ranging from politics and international relations to literature, from cultural to environmental and media studies, and from history to economics.

As an independent publisher, the CEU Press is at the forefront of open publishing. The CEU Press is committed to offering authors and institutions multiple open access options – all free to read globally. In cooperation with our library partners, we offer the innovative Opening the Future model, a BPC-free book publishing initiative.

CEU Press actively commissions and publishes books in partnership with AUP. The press has a rich backlist of over 600 titles on subjects ranging from Politics and International Relations to Literature; History to Economics. Scroll the backlist below, or search for a specific title here.
