The Journal of Politics, a leading general interest journal in political science, publishes theoretically innovative and methodologically diverse research in all subfields of the discipline including, but not limited to, American politics, comparative politics, formal theory, international relations, methodology, political theory, public administration and public policy. Our conception of both theory and method is both broad and encompassing, and we welcome contributions from scholars around the world. 

The Journal of Politics is edited by Jan Leighley and Bill Mishler, who rely on a distinguished editorial board as well as expert reviewers.  The editorial offices are located in the Department of Political Science at the University of Arizona. Professor Valerie Hoekstra, Arizona State University, serves as Book Review Editor.  Founded in 1938, The Journal of Politics is published by Cambridge University Press for the Southern Political Science Association.
