About the journal
We are living in an age of rapid change in political geography throughout the world.Political Geography has become the flagship journal of the resurgence of political geography studies in recent years. The aim is to bring together contributions from the four major strands of current political geography research:
?Continuing research on 'traditional' topics, such as geostrategic regions and the spatial structure of states.
?Quantitative, positivist studies in, for example, electoral geography and policy impact research.
?Political economy approaches dealing with issues arising from alternative theories of the state, or the world-systems perspective.
•And post-structuralist analyses of geopolitics, where attention is given to issues of gender, race and post-coloniality.
Political Geography also provides a forum for non-geographers concerned with the spatial dimension in politics.
Instructions to Authors
Online Submission
Political Geography manuscripts may be submitted online using our Web-based submission tool. To submit your paper online, please go to http://ees.elsevier.com/jpgq and upload your article and its associated artwork. A PDF will be generated and the reviewing process will be carried out using that PDF. All correspondence between editors and author is performed by e-mail, and paper copies are not required at the original submission stage.
Contributions are received with the understanding that their contents are original, unpublished material and are not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Translated material, which has not been published in English, will also be considered. The Editors reserve the right to edit or otherwise alter contributions, but authors will receive proofs for approval before publication.
Presentation
Manuscripts must be typed in journal style, double-spaced (including footnotes; abstracts and references should be triple spaced) and with a wide margin.
Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order of presentation. First page: short title, subtitle (if desired), acknowledgements (if any), corresponding author's name, affiliation, E-mail address, full postal address and telephone and fax numbers. Respective affiliations and addresses of co-authors should be clearly indicated.Second Page: a self-contained abstract of 150 to 250 words; keywords (up to six); article title abbreviated appropriately for use as a running headline. Subsequent pages: main body of text, list of references, appendices; tables; footnotes (numbered consecutively).
The text should be organized under appropriate section headings. Section headings should be marked as follows: primary headings should be typed in capitals and underlined; secondary headings should be typed with initial capital letters and underlined; tertiary headings should be typed in lower case and underlined. Any subsequent headings should be preceded by a Roman numeral (I, ii, iii etc.) placed on the first line of text and underlined. All headings should be placed on the left-hand side of the text.
All measurements should be given in metric units. Abbreviations do not take a plural form and are not followed by a point.
Authors are urged to write as concisely as possible, but not at the expense of clarity. Descriptive or explanatory pages, necessary as information but which tend to break up the flow of text, should be put into footnotes or appendices. Where possible, however, footnotes should be avoided.
References and footnotes
References should be indicated in text or footnote either by giving, in parentheses the author's name followed by the date of the paper or book; or with the date in parentheses, as in 'suggested by Fletching (1975)'. In the text use the form 'Olson et al 1975' where there are more than two authors, but list all authors in the references. To aid anonymous refereeing authors should cite their own work impersonally. Quotations of more than one line of text from cited works should be indented and citation should include the page number of the quotation; e.g. (Thomas 1979: 56)
References should be listed in one alphabetical sequence at the end of the text. They should be typed triple-spaced in journal style, e.g. for journals: Thornwaite, C.W. and Mather, J.R. (1995) The Water Balance. Publications in Climatology 8, 1-104.
for books:
Zeleny, M. (1982) Multiple criteria decision making. McGraw-Hill, New York.
for monographs:
Bailey, A. (1978). Politics and Planning: A New Approach Oliver Publications, London.
for papers from conference proceedings, chapters from a book etc.
Smith, I. J. K. (1977) Liberal theories of the state. In Alternative Perspectives of the State ed., P. Shed, pp. 17-82. Back Bay Press, Boston, MA.
Footnotes should be avoided wherever possible. Where essential they should be typed double-spaced and grouped together at the end of the manuscript. They must be designate in the text by superscript Arabic numerals in continuous sequence.
Tables
Tables must be prepared on separate sheets, be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and given a suitable caption. Notes and references within tables should be included with the tables, separately from the main text. Notes should be referred to by superscript letters. All table columns should have an explanatory heading. Tables should not repeat data available elsewhere in the article, e.g. in an illustration.
Figures
All graphs, diagrams, maps and other drawings should be referred to as Figures which should be large-size originals (each on a separate page) and produced using professional quality graphics software. They should have an Arabic number and a caption. In the text, figures must be referred to as: see Fig. 1; or Figs. 2 and 3, etc. Their approximate location in the text should be indicated as follows:
