《共产主义与后共产主义研究》是一本涵盖所有共产主义和后共产主义国家和共产主义运动的国际期刊，包括它们的国内政策和国际关系。它着重分析共产主义和后共产主义世界的历史和当前发展，包括意识形态、经济和社会。它还旨在通过邀请不同国家(例如波兰或罗马尼亚的教育)专门研究同一主题的学者发表具有比较性质的评论，对某一特定主题(例如中国的教育)提供比较焦点。除了历史、政治学、经济学和国际关系等传统学科外，编辑们还鼓励提交社会科学和人文学科较不发达领域的文章，如文化人类学、教育、地理、宗教和社会学。
Communist and Post-Communist Studies is an international journal covering all communist and post-communist states and communist movements, including both their domestic policies and their international relations. It is focused on the analysis of historical as well as current developments in the communist and post-communist world, including ideology, economy and society. It also aims to provide comparative foci on a given subject (e.g. education in China) by inviting comments of a comparative character from scholars specializing in the same subject matter but in different countries (e.g. education in Poland or Romania).In addition to the traditional disciplines of history, political science, economics and international relations, the editors encourage the submission of articles in less developed fields of social sciences and humanities, such as cultural anthropology, education, geography, religion and sociology.
