Past Meets Present
Taking a holistic approach to Central and Eastern Europe, this package showcases some of CEU Press' most recent monographs on the region, published between 2020 and 2025. It contains the very latest research and debates on topics ranging widely from the politics and class struggles of Communist and post-Communist regimes, through to cuisine as cultural memory and expression. The titles cover from the 11th century to the present day, and the whole of central and eastern Europe, and beyond. Through the broad spectrum of scholarship provided by this package, it comprehensively enhances library collections on European politics, history, and culture, on democracy and other forms of government, and on 20th and 21st century European conflicts.

Library and institutional members are banded according to their size, as recognised by Lyrasis and Jisc. Based on this, our annual membership fees for a Single Package are:
| Tier | Band | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 0-5,000 FTE | €690 / £600 / $810 | €725 / £630 / $850 | €760 / £660 / $893 |

Membership is for a minimum of three years.
Shown in table are annual fees in EUR (Euro, €) / GBP (Pound Sterling, £) / USD (US Dollars, $), excluding VAT.
Due to rising publication costs, a 5% annual increase has been applied for annual payments. The slight annual rise in membership fees reflects rising inflation rates alongside rising production costs for publishers globally. The renewed fees allow us to continue to use membership revenue solely to produce new OA monographs, moving towards an affordable, sustainable model for the future of academic publishing. And while the rises are around 5%, in real terms they are no more than a rise of around $20 to $100 a year.
If you would like to prepay your entire 3 year subscription, please let us know. The 3 year prepayment option benefits from a fixed annual price with no price increase during the 3-year term.
Invoices for Europe and Rest of World are handled by Amsterdam University Press (our partner). Lyrasis, a trusted non-profit library sector partner based in the USA, handle invoices for North America, and invoices for the UK are issued by Jisc. Access to titles will be provided within one month of payment.
