Scope
The
Journal of Cold War Studies features peer-reviewed articles based
on archival research in the former Communist world and in Western countries.
Some articles offer reevaluations of important historical events or
themes, emphasizing the changes of interpretation necessitated by declassified
documents and new firsthand accounts. Other articles seek to bring new
evidence to bear on current theoretical debates. Many
existing theories of international and domestic politics have relied
on generalizations from the Cold War period, but until very recently
the evidence for these generalizations was tenuous at best. Articles
in the Journal of Cold War Studies use declassified materials
and new memoirs from the former Eastern bloc and Western countries to
illuminate and raise questions about numerous theoretical concerns,
including theories of decision-making, deterrence, bureaucratic politics,
institutional formation, bargaining, diplomacy, foreign policy conduct,
and international relations. Drawing on the latest evidence, articles
in the Journal subject these theories, and others, to rigorous
empirical analysis. The Journal's emphasis on the use of new
evidence for theoretical purposes is in no way intended to exclude solid
historical reassessments, but articles set within a theoretical context
are particularly encouraged.The
Journal's Editorial
Board consists of 32 distinguished political scientists, historians,
and specialists on international relations.
Discussion

Description
In 1999 the Project began publishing the Journal of Cold War Studies, which has been praised by authoritative outlets such as Library Journal and Foreign Policy. The latter said in its Summer 1999 issue that "the Journal of Cold War Studies promises to be a leading forum for path-breaking archival research" and that "the journal fills an important void for historians and political scientists studying the Cold War."
