Annals of the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi

An Interdisciplinary Journal of Economics, History and Political Science

The Annals is a forum for the free exchange of ideas
among scholars working in the field of social sciences

Annals of the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to promoting interdisciplinarity as both a method of scientific inquiry and a crucial issue in the social sciences.

Building on the tradition of Annali della Fondazione Luigi Einaudi, founded in 1967, the Annals publishes two issues per year, fostering communication and encouraging the cross-fertilization of ideas among both established international scholars and early-career researchers in history, economics, political science, and other social science disciplines. Its articles maintain a rigorous style and language while remaining accessible to scholars from diverse fields within the social sciences.

The Editors welcome submissions from all social science disciplines on a broad range of topics aligned with the Journal’s mission. Manuscripts must adhere to the Instructions for Authors.


The Annals is an open access journal. The whole collection of issues is published online (there are no submission or publication charges) on this website.
