  • Democracy

The journal explores the intersections between philosophy and public policy in international and domestic affairs. It emphasises work that is analytic and critical in perspective and aims to promote new topics of research, as well as to contribute to the existing scholarly literature.

Article Information
We particularly welcome articles that address the above areas directly, through normative and analytical explorations of such issues as global warming, religious education, basic income, health insurance, affirmative action, the use of torture, humanitarian intervention and so on. Articles that focus on individual thinkers, particular social and political concepts, such as power, equality, sovereignty and liberty, and various schools of thought including republicanism, feminism, socialism, liberalism and nationalism, should draw out the practical policy implications of the theories or ideas concerned.

Peer Review
All research articles in this journal undergo rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by up to three specialist referees.
