The Dublin Review of Books is pleased to announce that it has joined the European network of cultural journals Eurozine.

Eurozine emerged from an informal network dating back to 1983. Since that time, a variety of European cultural magazines have met once a year in European cities to exchange ideas and experiences. In the meantime, approximately 100 periodicals from almost every European country have become involved in these meetings.

In 1995, the meeting took place in Vienna. The success of this meeting, in which numerous eastern European magazines participated for the first time, and the rapid development of the Internet encouraged the editors to reinforce the existing loose network with a virtual but more systematic one. Eurozine was established in 1998 and now operates not just as a meeting place for journals and their editors but also as a netmagazine, republishing material from members in the original language and in translation in one of the major European languages.

The journals Mittelweg 36 (Hamburg), Kritika & Kontext (Bratislava), Ord&Bild (Göteborg), Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais (Coimbra), Transit -- Europäische Revue (Vienna), and Wespennest (Vienna) were Eurozine’s founding members.

Partner journals and associates today include Edinburgh Review and Index on Censorship (UK), Esprit (France), Helicon (Israel), Osteuropa (Germany), Samtiden (Norway), Sarajevo Notebook (Bosnia), Arche (Belarus), Caffè Europa (Italy), Arche (Belarus), Cogito (Turkey) and many more. The Dublin Review of Books is the first Irish journal to have joined the network.
