Andrea Pirro has been recently appointed as new editor of the journal East European Politics (Taylor and Francis).

East European Politics is a refereed journal which publishes articles in the government, politics and international relations of the post-communist space. In geographical terms, EEP covers the entire post-communist region, including East Central and South Eastern Europe, Russia and all the other countries of the former Soviet Union.

In the quality of new editor, Andrea wishes to attract a growing number of fresh and innovative submissions from colleagues focusing on far-right, far-left, and populist politics; Euroscepticism; democracy, democratisation, and democratic backsliding; social movements and participation; and political parties and elections in the region (and beyond—comparatively). Andrea also points out that the journal “wants to put groundbreaking and thought-provoking work on the map, and further turn into a point of reference for scholars with similar research interests.”

Communication creates partial organization: A comparative analysis of the organizing practices of two climate action movements, Youth for Climate and Fridays for Future Italy

Marco Deseriis, Lorenzo Zamponi, Diego Ceccobelli
This article focuses on a neglected aspect of the climate action movement Fridays for Future, namely, the relationship between its mediated communication practices and its early organizational processes. Drawing from a strand of organizational communication that underscores the constitutive dimension of communication to organizing processes, we analyze the significance of mediatized leadership and networked communication for the foundation and early development of two national chapters of Fridays for Future: Youth for Climate (YFC) Belgium and Fridays for Future Italy (FFFI).
