CEU Press
From its unique position in Central Europe, the CEU Press offers a perspective from a region that is, and has been, the arena for global and ideological tension, but has remained underrepresented in global discourse.
While adapting and evolving to reflect our fast-changing world, the CEU Press has remained true to its core mission, namely, to foster scholarship pertaining to the history, culture, and unique characteristics of the region, and to present a diverse array of forward-thinking scholarship that brings clarity and insight to our complex and confusing times.
CEU Press actively commissions and publishes around 50 books a year 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.
