Description
Launched in 1990, Sociétés Contemporaines is a multidisciplinary social sciences periodical published with CNRS support.
The periodical publishes four issues per year. Each issue includes a special themed section, non-theme articles, and articles in the “Social Sciences: Profession and Vocation” section. The editorial committee seeks to ensure that the special sections include a range of theoretical approaches. Sociétés Contemporaines is an instrument for publishing the results of social science research; articles are original and based on recent work.
