Why is it important to present special journal issues as a separate category? It is because they collectively indicate the importance of the subject they deal with. The 1989 revolutions have been quite consistently dealt with in special journal issues, as the following list demonstrates. The list is arranged chronologically, from the earliest to the most recent.
