About This Journal
Oxford Politics Quarterly (OPQ) is a peer-reviewed journal published by Oxford Scholarly Press dedicated to political science research across comparative politics, international relations, political theory, and public policy. The journal is committed to methodological pluralism, publishing formal models, quantitative empirical work, qualitative case studies, and interpretive scholarship of equal standing. OPQ has a strong tradition of publishing research that speaks to the most pressing political questions of the day.
Aims & Scope
OPQ publishes rigorous political science research across the discipline's main subfields:
• Comparative politics: electoral systems, party politics, regime change, and government formation
• International relations: conflict and cooperation, international institutions, and foreign policy
• Political economy: the politics of redistribution, trade, finance, and growth
• Political theory and philosophy: democratic theory, justice, legitimacy, and political obligation
• Public policy and governance: policy-making processes, bureaucracy, and policy evaluation
• Political behaviour: voting, political participation, public opinion, and political psychology
• Institutions: constitutions, courts, legislatures, and executives
• Conflict and peace studies: civil war, terrorism, and conflict resolution
• Global and regional politics: European integration, regional organisations, and global governance
The journal welcomes both formal and empirical approaches, and particularly values research with comparative breadth.
