Contemporary British History is an academic journal focused on modern British history, providing a platform for innovative research into developments in British society, culture, politics, foreign policy and the economy in the recent past. The journal is particularly concerned with new perspectives and interpretations of contemporary British history, encouraging scholars to explore the major events, social changes and cultural phenomena of the period.

The journal welcomes scholars from a variety of disciplines to submit their work, including but not limited to history, political science, sociology, economics, cultural studies, and international relations. This interdisciplinary academic contribution helps to provide a more holistic perspective and promotes a deeper understanding of contemporary British history. Works that take a comparative or transnational approach, which can help to shed light on interactions and connections between the UK and other countries or regions, are particularly encouraged. Through comparative analysis, scholars can better understand the role and impact of the United Kingdom in the context of globalization, and how its internal and external factors have worked together to shape Britain's modern history.
