Journal overview

Geopolitics is an international and multidisciplinary journal devoted to contemporary research on geopolitics. It provides an arena for scholarly analysis addressing the intersection of geography and global politics from various disciplinary and methodological perspectives, and from vantage points embedded in diverse locations. It welcomes theories, methods and methodologies that advance our understanding of the geographic and multiscalar dynamics of global politics.

Themes include geopolitical traditions; critical geographical analysis of formal, practical and popular geopolitics; feminist geopolitics; urban geopolitics; geopolitics of the everyday; environmental geopolitics; spatial and cartographic analysis; and political economy.

Geopolitics publishes work on traditional topics like interstate relations, great powers relations, global institutions, regional integration, territorial control and access to energy, resources and trade routes, and state borders. The journal also publishes work on more recent topics pertaining to identity politics and boundary making, post-colonial perspectives, international migration and transnationalism, global cities and city networks, finance, biopolitics, securitization, surveillance and cyberspace, the everyday, climate change, the high seas, and outer space.

The journal seeks to publish socially relevant research but requires engagement with theoretical issues and the relevant debates in the field of geopolitics and political geography. The journal is open to work from other disciplines that engages contemporary literature in geopolitics and political geography, including international relations, conflict studies, political history, political economy, or other domains of the social sciences and the humanities.

Peer Review Policy: All papers submitted to Geopolitics undergo initial editorial screening. Once deemed suitable, research articles and geopolitical forums are sent out for rigorous double-anonymous peer review by at least two independent referees.

Publication Office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 530 Walnut Street, Suite 850, Philadelphia, PA 19106
