Aims and scope

The Journal of Political Power was established in 2008 to provide an interdisciplinary venue for focused studies and scholarly debates surrounding the origins, development, and application of power in contemporary society. The journal's contributions have thus far drawn together scholars from diverse fields of inquiry to ask new questions about the enduring relevance of classical studies of power.

We welcome empirical and theoretical work on the diverse arenas in which power can be understood including: class and class relations, culture and cultural systems, gender, globalization and international relations, institutions and institutional change, ethnicity, nationalism and the nation-state, politics, race and racism, and violence and war.
