European Education is an international peer-reviewed journal, which is devoted to original inquires and dialogue on education across the member states of the Council of Europe. The journal features articles on education in individual member states as well as the impact of European education initiatives globally. The journal especially encourages theoretical and empirical studies, interdisciplinary perspectives, and critical examination of the impact of political, economic, and social forces on education. The journal is published quarterly, with at least one thematic issue per year. Electronic submissions should be emailed to the editors at europeaneducationjournal@mesharpe.com.

"In an era in which educational ideas and policies are so readily imported and uncritically applied, it is important to have such a forum as European Education where they can be traced and scrutinized with broad perspective and intellectual rigor." -Gita Steiner-Khamsi, Columbia University President of Comparative and International Education Society (CIES)

"Comparative education has always emphasized learning from the experience of others, and Europe has provided the rest of the world with educational models from which others can borrow. European Education is an excellent facilitator of that process and one that performs its role with an always critical eye." -Erwin H. Epstein, Loyola University of Chicago Past Editor of the Comparative Education Review

"I have been observing the progress of this meritorious journal for more than three decades and am pleased that European Education plays a key role in tightening the partnership between American and European educationists. In particular, it presents important events and trends throughout Europe to the American educational community. This is critical in our period of globalization and internationalization." -Wolfgang Mitter, Past President of the World Congress of Comparative Education Societies(WCCES)

"The focus extends from preschool education to universities. ... The journal provides readers with access to a useful sampling of current European educational thought and developments. -Magazines for Libraries
