International Journal of Politics, Culture, and Society publishes original peer-reviewed papers on issues that arise at the intersections of nations, states, civil societies, and global institutions and processes. Themes examined in the journal include: changing patterns in world economic and political institutions; new configurations of ethnic groups, social classes, religions, personal networks, and special interests; the social effects of changes in mass culture, propaganda, and technologies of communication; and the impact of social transformations on the changing order of public and private life. The journal is interdisciplinary in orientation and international in scope. It is not tied to any theoretical or research tradition and encourages articles of varying length, from research notes to article-length monographs.
