Regional and Federal Studies

Call for Special Issue Proposals

The Editorial Board of Regional and Federal Studies, the global reference journal for federalism, regionalism, and multi-level governance, invites proposals for guest-edited special issues.

Proposals should concisely follow a theme that is of key interest to scholars of federalism, regionalism and multi-level governance, and significantly advance the state-of-the-art on the chosen theme. Individual contributions to the Special Issue should advance the broader theme, yet be individually strong enough to convince readers also as stand-alone articles.

While we welcome Special Issue proposals on any topic within the journal’s scope, we particularly encourage proposals that include cases and authors from different world regions, and/or proposals that study how federalism and territorial politics intersect with issues of general interest to political science (e.g. migration, polarization, or democratic backsliding).

Please refer to our guidelines for Special Issues for further detail. Informal inquiries regarding potential fit can be directed to Christina Zuber, managing editor for Special Issues ( [email protected]). We aim to return an initial decision on proposals within six weeks.
