About the journal

Contemporary Politics provides a platform for studies of politics that are alert to the international without being international relations, and conscious of national difference without ignoring international context. Such studies are often implicitly comparative, even if not explicitly so.
Contemporary Politics ranges across international relations, comparative politics and national politics, and is not constrained by disciplinary boundaries in any domain. It takes an interest in major conceptual and theoretical issues generated by current world politics.
Contemporary Politic s is keen to uncover and explain politics in hidden spaces, and welcomes submissions that bring marginalized and misunderstood aspects of current international politics into focus and into the academic mainstream.
Contemporary Politics carries articles that are accessible to informed academic and non-academic audiences around the world. While the journal does not have a book review section, it does carry lengthy review articles that are both informative and theoretically rich.
Contemporary Politics publishes special issues on topics of especially broad interest and great moment. Proposals can be sent to the Editor at any time, and should include a full list of authors, article titles and abstracts.
Contemporary Politics is covered by the following abstracting, indexing and citation services: International Political Science Abstracts; Sociological Abstracts and Zeller Verlag (IBZ/IBR).
