The journal Nazioni e Regioni – Studi e Ricerche sulla comunità immaginata [Nations and Regions – Studies and Researches on Imagined Communities] is meant to be an open and interdisciplinary place that, in the wake of the successful experience of similar journals in English-speaking countries, intends to encourage work in a research field which is still marginal in Italy’s and Europe’s scientific production, thus giving the possibility to scholars interested in nationalism to publish the results of their enquiries and enter a debate with other scholars. Despite being published only in Italian, Nazioni e Regioni aims at having an international public, therefore it will accept contributions in various languages (in particular, Italian, English, Spanish, French, Russian, Catalan) that will subsequently be translated into Italian by the editors.The Nazioni e Regioni project is not limited to the scientific journal but is articulated into a whole series of related forums for debate, with the explicit purpose of becoming an authoritative and user-friendly point of reference for those who are interested in such questions. Therefore the project also includes a blog – meant to be a place for debate, discussion and exchange that may be more open and informal than the journal, and on which there will be articles on current affairs, databases, information on congresses, conferences and seminars – and a book series in which we shall publish PhD theses and unpublished monographs on questions related to regionalisms and nationalisms and translations into Italian of relevant studies on nations and nationalisms. We accept contributions that analyze theoretical questions related to nationalism and regionalism, enquiries on the current situation of the study of specific cases, researches on concrete aspects of national construction analyzed from different scientific angles.
