Call for papers for a special section in the Journal of Soviet & Post-Soviet Politics & Society:
Gergana Yankova-Dimova, Ph.D. (Harvard), University of Winchester, and Andreas Umland, Ph.D. (Cambridge), Swedish Institute for International Affairs, are inviting submissions of English-language original scholarly papers for a 2021 special section on Russia's annexation of Crimea in the Journal of Soviet & Post-Soviet Politics & Society edited by Julie Fedor, Ph.D. (Cambridge), The University of Melbourne, published by ibidem-Verlag at Stuttgart, and distributed outside Europe by Columbia University Press in New York. See https://www.ibidem.eu/.../journal-of-soviet-and-post...
This will be the third installment of a larger project. The ToCs and introductions to Parts I and II of this project may be found here: https://spps-jspps.autorenbetreuung.de/en/jspps.html
Deadline for preliminary paper or abstract submission in English, Ukrainian, Russian or German: 1 February 2021.
Deadline for paper submission of fully edited and formatted English-language papers for peer-review: 15 February 2021.
Note that JSPPS is an academic journal. Thus your empirical or legal findings should be embedded in some already existing topical and theoretical literature, as well as discuss your study's implications for this literature. Should your paper be seen as an examination, exploration, illustration, falsification, verification, sustentation, devaluation, contestation or modification of previous empirical or legal research, or/and existing relevant theories? An ad hoc investigation into your particular topic itself will, for JSPPS, not do.
The paper should:
- pose a sufficiently narrow, interesting and focused research question,
- provide as many as possible facts, data, graphs, quotes, tables, etc.
- make an argument with reference to empirical evidence, legal texts and secondary literature,
- reference scrupulously all used primary and secondary sources, and
- be strictly analytical (rather than conversational, political, philosophical, elliptical etc.).
The final version of your paper should be submitted in English, but can be also submitted earlier in Ukrainian, German or Russian, for a first preliminary assessment. It should have a length between 7,000 and 12,000 words. Please, send your paper as a WORD document, and list references by using WORD’s footnote function.
The papers’ formal style, references and footnotes should follow the example of this text:

The transliteration of Cyrillic words should follow the rules of this table:

We will not accept papers for review that still need extensive content-wise, linguistic or/and stylistic editing.
Papers to be sent to use for peer-review by 15 February 2021 should be in native-level English, formulated in academic style, and thoroughly edited as well as formatted (quotations, references, subheadings, transliteration).
The October 2021 journal issue with the third special section on Crimea will be published with ibidem-Verlag at Stuttgart & Hannover as well as distributed, outside Europe, by Columbia University Press at New York as well as other distribution networks and bookshops, like Gazelle Book Services.
If successfully accepted and published by JSPPS, we may later offer you republication of your paper in a collected volume within this larger project "Political Investigations and Legal Assessments of Russia's Annexation of Crimea in 2014" to be co-edited by Agata Kleczkowska.
