Following the founding of the Central European University by the Hungarian-American philanthropist George Soros, CEU Press was established in 1993.
Reflecting the intellectual strengths and values of its parent institution, the press publishes books on the political philosophy and practices of open society, legal studies, nationalism, human rights, conflict resolution, open media, gender studies, economics, medieval studies, literature, and international relations.
The publishing program of CEU Press focuses on issues of Central and Eastern Europe; it is also committed to the past and present history, society, culture and economy of the countries of the former Soviet Union and its neighbors. We operate by standards common to university presses, including peer review and editorial committee approval. Our books are produced regionally and sold internationally.
