Introduction

The eJIH was launched in 2000 with the aim of encouraging research in international history. The eJIH embraces all aspects of the history of relations between states and societies. The journal aims to promote an understanding of the breadth, depth and policy relevance of international history by examining how the politics, societies, economies and traditions of countries have shaped and influenced international relations since circa 1500.

Exploiting the technological opportunities presented to the new generation of scholars, the eJIH is an innovative publication, available only over the Internet and free of charge to its readers. The advantage to scholars is the immediacy of the electronic medium. Once an article has been submitted, refereed by three external peer experts, and redrafted as necessary, the accepted article will be available on-line. The eJIH is an RAE approved publication.

The editors welcome contributions from historians working on a wide range of areas, for example:

• Traditional diplomatic questions;
• British bilateral relations with other states and participation in wider alliances and international organisations;
• Transnational history (relations between states not involving Britain);
• Domestic political and cultural dimensions;
• Studies of conflict and confrontation and particular crises;
• Alliances and international organisations;
• Foreign trade, to include economic relations and economic diplomacy;
• Cultural relations;
• Military and intelligence issues;
• Propaganda, information policy and psychological operations;
• The development of international law;
• Ethical concerns, such as the impact of technological change;
• Historiographical debates.

The preferred article length is not more than 10,000 words.
