Declining or Waning

Instead, there is a shift towards more interdisciplinary and critical approaches, indicating a move away from conventional historical analysis. - Focus on Early Modern Period:

While the journal has a strong Italian focus, there appears to be a declining emphasis on studies that do not engage with broader transnational or comparative frameworks, limiting the exploration of Italian politics in a global context. - Narrow Feminist Perspectives:
The exploration of feminist themes has become more focused on specific movements or figures rather than broader feminist theories and intersections with other social movements, indicating a possible narrowing of the feminist discourse.
