The International Political Science Review (IPSR) is the journal of the International Political Science Association. It is committed to publishing peer-reviewed articles that make a significant contribution to international political science. It seeks to appeal to political scientists throughout the world and in all sub-fields of the discipline who are interested in studying political phenomena in the context of increasing international interdependence and change. IPSR reflects the aims and intellectual tradition of its parent body, the International Political Science Association: to foster the creation and dissemination of rigorous political inquiry while respecting different approaches and methods.

Articles are welcome reporting research on substantive topics and significant issues within political science. It is expected that authors will establish the significance of their research question, locate it within the relevant literature, and clearly set out the research design through which they intend addressing the question. Authors of single country studies should consider the theoretical and comparative implications of the case. Special issues on themes of general interest to political scientists will be published once or twice a year and deadlines for submissions will be announced periodically.

‘The International Political Science Review has been committed to promoting rigorous and relevant research since 1980. The journal distinguishes itself on two different dimensions: its generalist scope enables the publication of quality research from different fields of political science while its global ambition results in authors from around the world sharing their knowledge on relevant political issues.’
Marina Costa Lobo, Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon

‘IPSR is a high level professional publication, serving the entire international community of political scientists.’
Ilter Turan, Istanbul University; Past President of IPSA

The International Political Science Review (IPSR) is the journal of the International Political Science Association. It is committed to publishing peer-reviewed articles that make a significant contribution to international political science. It seeks to meet the needs of political scientists throughout the world who are interested in studying political phenomena in the context of global interdependence and change.

IPSR reflects the aims and intellectual tradition of its parent body, the International Political Science Association: to foster the creation and dissemination of rigorous political inquiry while respecting a plurality of approaches.

We welcome articles reporting research on substantive topics, concepts, and/or methodologies in all fields of political science. It is expected that authors will establish the significance of their research question, locate it within the relevant literature, and clearly set out the research design through which they intend addressing the question. Single-country case studies should analyze the theoretical and comparative implications of the case. 

‘More than any other review, IPSR shows political science in its diversity, and that’s very refreshing. Attracting authors from all parts of the world, comparing different approaches and methods, promoting multidisciplinarity, it offers a genuinely global perspective to understand the major issues of our times.’ 
Nonna Mayer, Centre d'études européennes et de politique comparée de Sciences Po/CNRS

‘At a time when social science approaches and political analyses usually reflect the ‘hegemonic West’ and peripheralize the ‘rest’, IPSR has worked hard to offer an alternative model. This journal's articles and their authors herald a much needed shift representing the world, geographically and issue-wise.’ Bahgat Korany, The American University in Cairo, Egypt
