Modern Italy is published three times a year by Routledge, Taylor & Francis Ltd on behalf of the Association for the Study of Modern Italy (ASMI). The journal's focus is the history, politics and social, economic and cultural studies of Italy, Italian affairs and the Italian peoples from the eighteenth to the twenty first century. The journal is published in English. For native Italian speakers, submission in Italian is preferred, but authors are asked to contact the editors first. All articles (with the exception of short reviews), including commissioned articles, will be subject to anonymous peer review. Long review articles and items for Contexts and Debates, while not subject to the full anonymous peer review procedure, are evaluated by the editors on a case-by-case basis.

Articles should not normally exceed 7,000 words in length including endnotes and review articles 5,000 words in length including endnotes and references. Longer articles may be permitted at the discretion of the editors.

Modern Italy incoraggia la presentazione di articoli in italiano da essere pubblicati in inglese. A questo proposito, Modern Italy, garantisce ottime traduzioni fatte a stretto contatto con l'autore. Per informazioni rivolgersi agli editori via e-mail.

All non-English quotations should be translated (where necessary, authors may supply the original Italian in brackets or an endnote as appropriate). Permission for reproducing copyright material that is not the property of the author must be sought in advance and any payments required be met by the author.

Submissions and all communications should be made to modernitaly@salford.ac.uk, although the editors welcome informal enquires to their own email addresses: m.j.bull@salford.ac.uk; mlsab@bath.ac.uk. Intending contributors should send initial submissions in electronic format by e-mail attachment On the cover sheet of each manuscript the author's name should appear together with her or his email address, mailing address and a day time telephone/fax number. Authors are also requested to supply a 150 word summary of their article. This should follow the cover sheet and be included with the manuscript. A short note of the author's institutional affiliation and position where relevant (as they would like it to appear in 'Notes on Contributors') together with a brief description of recently published work and research in progress should follow the summary on a separate page. In addition a short running-head title should be provided together with a statement of the article's length in words (including endnotes and references). A list of tables, graphs and any other illustrative material should precede the main text (where applicable).

Free article access: Corresponding authors can receive 50 free reprints, free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com) and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article.
