Political Studies is a leading international journal in politics and international relations scholarship. Since its inception sixty years ago the journal has remained at the forefront of its field, publishing rigorous and original work in all areas of the discipline. Political Studies is not constrained by any particular methodological or theoretical framework and encourages a pluralistic approach to politics and international relations. Innovative submissions, which cross and challenge traditional discipline boundaries, reconsider the relationship between international and domestic politics or offer a fresh comparative perspective, are particularly welcome. Political Studies aims to develop the most promising work available, facilitate professional communication in political science and is committed to the highest standards of peer reviewing.
