In March, 2003 APSA will publish its newest journal. Perspectives on Politics is a journal of political science that seeks to provide political insight on important problems, as it emerges from rigorous, broad-based research and integrative thought. The editors anticipate authors and readers primarily comprising political scientists, but also including journalists, policy analysts, public officials and their staff, and other social scientists.
Perspectives enables members of different subfields to speak with one another—and with knowledgeable people outside the discipline—on issues of common interest. Each article must be accessible to and meaningful for readers with much general knowledge of politics but with no specific knowledge of the issue at hand.
The journal aspires to be engaging, illuminating, provocative, and broad-based while retaining the highest standards of scholarly excellence. The editors warmly invite suggestions for articles, symposia, reviews, commentary, and dialogues, as well as other ideas, from political scientists and others concerned with the use of research and careful thinking to address crucial issues and values in the realms of power and politics.
For submission guidelines, please see the journal's full-length statement of philosophy at www.apsanet.org/perspectives. Our editorial team discusses all proposals and drafts. For those that seem promising, authors receive initial reactions and an invitation to develop their proposals into papers or to revise submitted drafts. After revisions, manuscripts are evaluated by several external reviewers—with full confidentiality on both sides—and then accepted, returned for further revisions, or rejected.
