The Australian Journal of Political Science is the official journal of the Australian Political Studies Association. The editorial team of the Journal includes a range of Australian and overseas specialists covering the major subdisciplines of political science.

We publish articles of high quality at the cutting edge of the discipline, characterised by conceptual clarity, methodological rigour, substantive interest, theoretical coherence, broad appeal, originality and insight. The Journal features a lively exchange of views and therefore publishes critical comments and responses. Research notes reporting on current research projects, research designs and preliminary findings are also published.

All significant books by Australasian political scientists and books investigating Australasian politics are given comprehensive coverage. So too are review articles dealing with either a set of books or emerging themes in the discipline.

Peer Review
All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees.
