Journal Description
The International Journal of Political Theory is a Canadian open access journal looking to expand the scope of political theory, discover, and comment on current discourse in the fields of political theory, international law, philosophy, sociology, and history.The International Journal of Political Theory publishes on current theoretical developments in the field of political thought, including comparative approaches and methodologies across disciplines. Studies in traditional political theory, the study of religion and politics, human rights, global democratization, and postcolonial discourse are all prominent and developing areas in the field. The journal also seeks to expand the field by publishing studies utilizing non-western approaches and thinkers as well as comparative studies.
In taking a multidisciplinary approach, this journal aims to repair the major methodological and cognitive ills of the field which are often limited in scope and approach. In the globalized world we face today, politics, law, philosophy, and other fields overlap in both method and content - the study of political philosophy is rarely isolated from its "non-political" disciplines.
What is important for the editorial team is the uniqueness and provocativeness of the contribution: the IJPT is meant to be a journal for unorthodox studies and theories. The IJPT also welcomes studies of contemporary political developments under new and existing theoretical frameworks.
