What is Brussels Studies ?

The journal

Brussels Studies is an online academic journal with wide-spread dissemination intended to promote research centred on Brussels-related issues, without discrimination as to discipline or language.

Brussels Studies offers researchers a specific channel for the presentation of research results concerning a subject related to the realities of Brussels which represent a significant challenge for the city and its region.

Brussels Studies offers its readers articles which are accessible to a non-specialised public, pertaining to important subjects studied and debated in the world of research. Brussels Studies thus wishes to support the intervention of academic research results in the public debate regarding Brussels.
