Aims & Scope
Comparative Political Studies is a journal of social and political science which publishes scholarly work on comparative politics at both the cross-national and intra-national levels.
We are particularly interested in articles which have an innovative theoretical argument and are based on sound and original empirical research.
We also encourage submissions about comparative methodology, particularly when methodological arguments are closely linked with substantive issues in the field.
