Aims & Scope

Czech Journal of Political Science (Politologický časopis) is a peer reviewed journal published by the International Institute of Political Science in Brno. It is the first peer reviewed political science periodical issued in the Czech Republic. The first issue of the journal was published in 1994. Each year there are three issues which come out in February, June and October. The journal provides a representative platform for presentation of the outcomes of the original political science research and thus significantly contributes to the constitution of political science as a scholarly discipline and to its establishment among other social sciences. The journal features studies, articles, review essays, discussions, reviews and information on the events in the political science community. The texts may be submitted in English language. The topics cover the areas of political philosophy and theory, comparative political science, political sociology, policy analysis, European studies, international relations and security studies. The journal is provided to the editorial board of International Political Science abstracts – Documentation politique internationale.
