CIS supports DeFacto

DeFacto

external page DeFacto features abstracts of papers published in journals, summaries of book chapters and other research reports, as well as analyses and commentaries written especially for the platform by scholars in the context of current events. Advanced students are also given the opportunity to present outstanding research. The articles on DeFacto appear exclusively in German, French or Italian. They are written in a short and comprehensible way, but at the same time show which methodology they are based on and which theories they refer to.

Would you like to make a external page submission to DeFacto?
