Aims and Scope
The EJPT is intended to provide a much needed and long-awaited research forum for political theory in a European context. Broad in scope and international in readership, this peer-reviewed Journal will publish articles in political thought and theory by international scholars from Europe and beyond.
Though contributions to political theory in the widest possible sense are welcomed, the EJPT encourages a distinct emphasis on debates emerging from the development of national intellectual traditions of European scholarship, including such topics as the diverse traditions of republicanism; the changing nature of sovereignty; contrasting ideas of nation and citizenship; and methodological debates over approaches to the study of the history of political ideas.
