Comparative Civilizations Review (CCR)
From The Editors
The Comparative Civilizations Review will seek to publish analytical studies and interpretive essays primarily concerned with (1) the comparison of whole civilizations, (2) the development of theories and methods especially useful in comparative civilizational studies, (3) accounts of intercivilizational contacts, and (4) significant issues in the humanities or social sciences studied from a comparative civilizational perspective.
By "a comparative civilizational perspective" we mean (1) the use of evidence from more than one civilization (the various national traditions of the modem West being regarded, in this respect, as constituents of a single civilization) and (2) a method likely to throw new light either on the origins, processes, or structures of civilizations or on the problems of interpreting civilizations.
This is a peer reviewed journal. Please submit your paper as a Microsoft Word attachment for the reviewers' consideration. Be sure to include on your paper itself your e-mail address, your academic affiliation and position, or note that you are an "independent scholar." Send your paper to Prof. Walter Benesch at ffwjb@aurora.uaf.edu.
