Aims & Scope
Politics publishes original research articles that advance debates in politics and international studies and/or challenge boundaries within the field.
Politics articles will clearly show the innovative nature of their contribution as well as the debate they speak to or initiate.
While Politics articles may report significant empirical data, we expect they will make conceptual and/or theoretical contributions to the debates they address.
Overall, Politics articles will show how their insights challenge both academic and non-academic audiences to see problems in politics and international relations in a new light as well as offering innovative solutions.
