Peter Lang is an international publishing group specialising in Humanities and Social Sciences. We publish about 1,000+ books every year in English, German, French and Spanish, as well as in multiple other languages, from traditional print products to eBooks and Open Access publications.
Back in 1970, the Swiss entrepreneur and philanthropist Peter Lang founded his academic publishing company in his own name. In over fifty years since then, the company has undergone growth and change and overcome many challenges as an independent, internationally focused business. We are now a dynamic, entrepreneurial group of colleagues working across the globe to deliver excellence in academic publishing.
The Peter Lang headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, are the central hub for management and administration. The rest of our team is based in continental Europe, Anglo-American regions, and Asia with offices in Berlin, Brussels, Chennai, New York, and Oxford, and supporting locations in Istanbul, Madrid, Vienna and Warsaw.
