Democracy
Multiculturalism
Gender and race equality Environmental protection
Restorative justice, reparations and aid
Immigration
Health care
Welfare and social justice

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.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
