Information for authors

Each issue of the NZJRE includes a wide range of articles of interest with relevance to Europe and New Zealand, and typically also to the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. The journal aims to stimulate and encourage debate with insightful contributions from distinguished academics, emerging scholars and thoughtful practitioners.

NZJRE aspires to offer unique perspectives from different disciplines in various formats, including research articles, essays and reviews. We are also distinct in defining "Europe" widely and viewing it from unique vantage points.
