Why another journal

This electronic journal takes its name from a Research Laboratory (CAMBIO) active in the Department of Sociology and Political Science (Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy). It is published on-line twice a year. The subtitle Rivista sulle trasformazioni sociali emphasizes the central interests of the promoters (a group of scholars and researchers from various Italian universities) for the transformation processes that today affect individuals and society, nature and culture, local societies and global realities. It is not by chance that the first two issues contained the best papers presented at a recent International Conference on Norbert Elias, a sociologist who was one of the best interpreters of past and present societies. We will keep faith to this tradition in a totally secular and flexible way, hosting contributions of research and theoretical analyses in the social sciences - of every discipline and research approach. The journal calls on those who recognize themselves in the guidelines that we have outlined, to submit their contributions and proposals which will be promptly discussed and peer reviewed.
