New Issue of IPSR Published - March 2022

The latest issue of the International Political Science Review (IPSR) for March 2022 (Volume 43, Number 2) has been published.

The new issue opens with the Anthoula Malkopoulou and Lisa Hill article, titled The politics of voter presence. The authors argue for a new interpretation of the politics of presence called “descriptive responsiveness.” According to the article, representation and government responsiveness are enhanced when citizens are present en masse, not in parliaments, but at polling places. The issue also includes articles on gender gaps in political participation in Asia, the effect of education on youth political participation in Egypt and Tunisia and relational theory.

IPSA members can access the full IPSR archive dating back to 1980 through the My IPSA menu. IPSA’s flagship journal, IPSR, is published by SAGE and is committed to publishing peer-reviewed material that makes a significant contribution to international political science.
