Series "MZES Fokus"
"MZES Fokus", an open access journal of the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES) addresses multipliers, decision-makers in politics, business, and society, and the interested public and civil society.
Articles in MZES Fokus by MZES scientists deal mainly with topics related to practice and issues of daily politics. MZES Fokus thus adds to the MZES’s usual form of publications in externally peer-reviewed (international) academic journals and other scientific outlets, with the aim of reaching target groups (also) outside academia more directly. There will also be space for joint publications with external authors and contributions in English.
With MZES Fokus, the MZES aims to contribute to a science-based, broad social debate, which by its very nature cannot take place exclusively in academic journals.
MZES Fokus is published at irregular intervals and can be subscribed here or by writing to:
