AB  - The internationalization of communication studies has become a trending topic over the past
decades, and there have been many efforts to increase the geographical diversity of the
discipline. International collaboration has succeeded in internationalizing the field, and
different world regions offer particular strategies for cooperation. However, there is no “royal
road” for successful internationalization, and different world regions follow their own
trajectories. In this article, we discuss the historical, cultural, and disciplinary features of
Central and Eastern European (CEE) communication research and then provide an analysis
of the region’s international collaboration in research publishing over the past 20 years.
Results point to a growing level of CEE internationalization with expanding geographical
diversity, but intra-regional collaboration is still weak. We argue that to raise the international
competitiveness of the region, CEE communication scholars might have to develop a regional
identity by increasing strategic cooperation between different countries of the region.
