The editors of the journal invited three distinguished scholars in the fields of economic history, business history and social history: Stephen Broadberry (London School of Economics), Geoffrey Jones (Harvard Business School) and Marco van Leeuwen (Utrecht University) to present their personal views and ideas about the future of their respective disciplines. Their talks led to an inspiring and engaged discussion, and we asked the three speakers to jointly publish their talks in the journal.

The article containing the talks is now available (free access) from the journal website: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03585522.2012.727766

We hope that the viewpoints expressed in the article will encourage more discussion about the future challenges in the fields of economic, business and social history, as well as inspire the future research agenda within these fields.

Sincerely,
Alfred Reckendrees and Jacob Weisdorf
Editors of the Scandinavian Economic History Review

Aims and scope of the journal:

The Scandinavian Economic History Review has been published since 1952 by the Scandinavian Society of Economic and Social History.

The journal publishes articles and reviews in the fields of economic, business and social history with a specific, but not exclusive interest in Scandinavia. The journal also publishes contributions from closely related fields and articles dealing with theoretical and methodological issues.

The editors aim to reflect contemporary research, thinking and debate in these fields, within Scandinavia and throughout the world. The journal thus comprises a broad variety of aspects and approaches to economic and social history, ranging from macroeconomic history to business history, from quantitative to qualitative studies.
