59 | 2026/2 : The Authoritarian Welfare State in 20th-century Europe: a Welfare State New Model?
Edited by Morgane Labbé.
The issue is available online via the Open Edition Journals portal: https://journals.openedition.org/histoirepolitique/
Histoire@Politique is the scientific journal of the Sciences Po Centre for History. It is natively and exclusively digital and available in open access.
The journal's core subject is politics, considered in all its forms, from the history of institutions and political parties to the history of social movements and ‘politics from below’, including all the more or less formal and informal aspects of political action and behaviour. From ideas to practices, all the different ways of doing politics are examined.
Histoire@Politique operates according to the criteria for scientific publications (anonymised articles are reviewed by referees and discussed collectively by the editorial board).
The journal publishes three issues a year, each of which includes a special report and sections (Varia, Pistes et débats, Sources). It also publishes a continuous flow of reviews. It publishes texts in both French and English.
The journal Histoire@Politique joined the OpenEdition Journals portal of online scientific journals in September 2021. It can be accessed at the following address: https://journals.openedition.org/histoirepolitique/. On this site, you will find the most recent issues (since issue 32). Reviews from 2007 to 2009 are temporarily unavailable; they will shortly be transferred to the journal's website on the Open Edition Journals portal.
Issues 1 to 31 (2007-2017) are available on the Cairn platform.

n° 54 (2024/3) : Pour une histoire pratique des révolutions et des coups d'État, under the direction of Nicolas Patin and Dominique Pinsolle
This dossier offers a ‘practical history’ of revolutions and coups d'état in Europe, from 1789 to the 1920s. The eight articles that make up the dossier are a milestone on the road towards a history that is more attentive to both material and immaterial dimensions. Three Varia articles complete this issue.
n° 53 (2024/2) : Faire face à la défaite : perspectives franco-allemandes (1918-1945), under the direction of Géraud Létang and Camille Mahé
In view of the new perspectives on memory that have emerged over the last ten years as a result of the commemorations of the two world wars, a return to defeat as an object of comparative and transnational history between France and Germany offers a wide variety of historiographical avenues to explore and enables us to continue the current scientific momentum. The variety of individual attitudes and collective behaviour in the face of defeat shows that it was not just a political, social and military event. These attitudes triggered an intense production of writings that made it possible to go beyond the simple victors/victims divide.
