ABSTRACT

The National Political Science Review (NPSR) strives to be at the forefront of lively scholarly discourse on domestic and global political life, particularly as disadvantaged groups are affected. The NPSR is particularly interested in contributions which set forth research agendas in critical scholarly areas within the context of past scholarship and ongoing contemporary developments. In this regard, the editor encourages collaborative efforts by two or more contributors. The NPSR was conceived with emphasis particularly on theoretical and empirical research on politics and policies that advantage or disadvantage groups by reason of race, ethnicity, or gender, or other such factors. However, as a journal designed to serve a broad audience of social scientists, the NPSR welcomes contributions on any important problem or subject which has significant political dimensions. The NPSR seeks to embrace the socio-political dimensions of all disciplines within the social sciences.
