Declining or Waning
- Traditional Military Histories:
There seems to be a waning interest in traditional military histories that focus solely on battles, strategies, and military figures. Instead, the journal is gravitating towards more nuanced social histories that consider broader socio-political contexts. - Eurocentric Historical Narratives:
The journal's emphasis on Eurocentric perspectives appears to be diminishing, with a stronger focus now on local narratives and the histories of non-European societies, particularly in Latin America. - Urban Development Studies:

The journal is seeing a decline in the publication of biographies of prominent historical figures, favoring collective narratives and studies that emphasize community experiences over individual achievements.
