The Hellenic Observatory Discussion Paper Series was re-launched in 2007 with a new title, reflecting the expansion of the Hellenic Observatory's research focus, activities and collaborations. The new -GreeSE- series covers the wider area of Southeast Europe and hosts research and policy papers from both its members of staff and external submissions. The aim of the series is to provide a forum for such research.
External submissions are reviewed by the Observatory's staff before publication. Proposals (up to 500 words) or complete papers (not exceeding 10,000 words) can be submitted by email to hellenicobservatory@lse.ac.uk|. Please see the full submission guidelines| before submitting a paper.
GreeSE is freely available electronically (in PDF format|). Hard-copies (costing £5 including packaging and posting) can be ordered from the Hellenic Observatory office.
As part of our dissemination policy, hard copies of each paper are mailed to more than 100 Academic Departments, Research Centres and Libraries in Greece, Cyprus, and all over the world. Examples of internationally renowned recipients include: the Hellenic Studies Program at Yale University, the Karamanlis Chair in Hellenic and South-Eastern European Studies at Tufts (Fletcher) and the South East European Studies Programme at Oxford (St Antony's). In addition, GreeSE Papers are abstracted in LSE Research Online and IDEAS-RePEc.
