Manuscript Submissions
Aims and Scope - In The Review of Politics we publish primarily articles on political theory. We also publish historial and interpretive studies of public law, comparative politics, international relations and public policy, however; we are particularly interested in political readings of literary works. Like other journals, we would most like to publish path-breaking pieces. We are very happy, however,to accept articles which make significant contributions to on-going debates.
