Editorial board
The Valahian Journal of Historical Studies is edited by the Cetatea de Scaun Publishing House with the support of the Grigore Gafencu Center for the History of International Relations of the State University Valahia in Târgovişte (Romania). It is dedicated to a better knowledge of the modern and contemporary history. As the interest for writing and reading in this history study field is obviously increasing, the initiative of this journal is both a response and a stimulant for all historians in search for an additional chance to have their scholarly materials published and acknowledged by the community of fellow historians. The initiative to speak with a distinct voice has originated among our fellow historians in the Department of History of the Faculty of Humanities in our university, but the goal we promise to achieve is broader than a local one. By this journal we encourage a closer and larger dialogue with other Romanian and foreign historians interested in opening up new opportunities Read more
