British Journal of Political Science

The British Journal of Political Science (BJPolS) is a broadly based journal aiming to cover developments across a wide range of countries and specialisms. Contributions are drawn from all fields of political science (including political theory, political behaviour, public policy and international relations), and articles from scholars in related disciplines (sociology, social psychology, economics and philosophy) appear frequently. With a reputation established over 50 years of publication, the BJPolS is widely recognised as one of the premier journals in its field (Provided by Publisher).

Politics & Society

In today's rapidly changing political and social climate, it's more important than ever for political and social scientists to keep on the cutting edge of critical and analytical thinking on issues vital to society. Politics & Society, a distinguished and respected peer-reviewed quarterly publication, is your best source for such perspectives.

Established in the late 1960s as an alternative, critical voice of the social sciences, Politics & Society publishes original analyses of politics, its social roots, and its consequences. In its broadest sense, politics encompasses conflicts over the shape and future of society. These conflicts, in countries throughout the world, play out in parliaments and civil society, in the workplace and the managerial office, the party and the bureaucracy, the NGO and the government ministry, the courtroom and the community, the military and the university, the national or global economy, the social movement and the family. The quest for a good society, both proposals pushing it and impediments blocking it, is also enduringly a part of political life, and so we welcome papers proposing radical visions and alternatives, as well as those interrogating class, racial, national, and gender inequalities. We seek papers from a variety of disciplines that combine field work or other types of empirical research with critical theoretical reflection. Papers analyzing transformations in political contention, thought, and discourse are also welcome. We look for cutting-edge work with interesting ideas, and we are open to what some have called “outrageous hypotheses” that address persisting social problems yet can neither be proved nor disproved. Chiefly, then, we seek papers that matter: that speak to pressing questions of our time, prompt serious thought and perhaps relevant action, and appeal to scholars and social actors in important and provocative ways (Provided by Publisher).

Journal of Political Ideologies

The Journal of Political Ideologies is dedicated to the analysis of political ideology in its theoretical and conceptual aspects, and to investigating the nature and roles of particular ideological manifestations and practices. The Journal of Political Ideologies serves as a major discipline-developing vehicle for an innovative, growing and vital field in political studies. It is open to exploring new methodologies that illuminate the complexity and richness of ideological structures and solutions both formed by and forming political thinking and political imagination. Concurrently, the Journal of Political Ideologies supports a broad research agenda aimed at building inter-disciplinary bridges with relevant areas and invigorating cross-disciplinary debate (Provided by Publisher).

The University of Manchester Library provides full access to this journal from 1996 (Volume 1, Issue 1) to the present day.
