| Abstract: | Over the past five years or so, Anglo-American hegemony in human geography has been widely debated. This debate has highlighted
the obstacles put in the way of the building of a more international geographical discipline. In this paper, we reflect on
the possibilities and also the limitations of Europe as a context for the experimentation with a more cross-national discipline.
In doing so, we notice on the one hand the increasing attention towards the Europeanisation of human geography, particularly
at an institutional level, but on the other hand we also notice the lack of some basic forms and tools of communication and
exchange that might facilitate the mobilisation of scholars around the ‘European project’. The paper tries to offer a contribution
to this issue by discussing the ways in which a European journal of human geography might be conceived and also concretely
organised. In this respect the paper takes into account issues of language, access to scientific knowledge and recognition
of cultural and academic diversities.
