About the Series

The Quaderni di Dodis are an academic series in which papers, monographs or essays as well as sources and other materials are digitally published. This series will cover research results which were in one way or another initiated by the Dodis research centre: this may cover publications of international conferences, colloquia or workshops for researchers. The Quaderni di Dodis intend to widen publication possibilities in the fields of history and foreign policy and to offer an attractive and easy way to publish for young academics.

The Quaderni di Dodis were conceived as an e-Book and are committed to the open access principle.
