Dear Reader,
Submissions made to International Journal of Political Theory undergo an objective, double-blind peer review process in which a single standard is used to analyze the relevance and academic quality of the individual papers.

The IJPT is dedicated to providing costless education and information to all seekers of knowledge. Please refer to the IJPT's statement regarding its open access policy.
Academic integrity is unreservedly crucial to the submission review process. The standard of originality, ethical academic rigour, and honesty are paramount principles to be followed both by researchers and the individuals involved in the review process.
