Nationalism & Ethnic Politics explores the varied expressions of ethnicity in politics and its intersections with nationalism, in order to enhance understandings of the sources of both contemporary and historical identity-based conflicts, and to develop more constructive inter-group relations. The journal publishes case studies as well as comparative and theoretical analyses, and we welcome articles from interdisciplinary perspectives and different approaches, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches. As Editors, we have a strong preference for articles that have a substantive theoretical background, offering innovative perspectives for empirical research and practical understanding of cases, either individually or comparatively. At the same time, we welcome articles presenting empirical research that tests, reflects, and incorporates theoretical discussions about the role of ethnic identity in peace and conflict, minority accommodation and challenges to democratic governance. We believe such contributions to be able to attract a wide audience within the field of nationalism and ethnic politics.
Nationalism & Ethnic Politics examines the effects and processes of identity-based mobilization, group formation and cohesion, ethnonational conflict and accommodation in the context of political development and what is commonly referred to as nation- and state- building. We encourage submissions which offer comparative assessments of state and community claims, reflecting on such factors as citizenship, race, religion, economic development, immigration, language, gender, Indigeneity, and related phenomena, and the effects these might have on pluralism, ethno-nationalism, irredentism, and separatism. We seek to publish contributions that engage, advance, and initiate new debates on intersectional approaches to the study of identity-sensitive politics and to offer a platform for conversations that speak to contemporary challenges of diverse, multiethnic societies across the globe.
We invite academics from all stages of their career and world regions with expertise in political studies to contribute. We strongly encourage submissions from women, nonbinary individuals, members of underrepresented groups, and people with disabilities. We particularly welcome contributions from scholars based in the Global South. The journal seeks to include pieces by contributors whose first language is not English, to draw on the expertise that exists in this subfield in the world at large, while also ensuring that the articles published are accessible to a diverse readership in the academy and beyond.
Four issues a year are published, and generally one of these is a special issue.
Peer Review Policy: All Research Articles submitted to this journal undergo a “double-anonymized” peer review by at least two referees. Rapid Communications and Review Articles undergo "single-anonymized" peer review by at least two referees, one of which will be the Editor or designate.

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
