For nearly two decades, Politics, Religion & Ideology has provided the leading international forum for the scholarly exploration of the politics of illiberal ideologies, both religious and secular. The journal is multi-disciplinary, cutting-edge and truly international in scope, having to date received submissions from authors located in over 30 different countries.
The journal publishes critical analyses of theory and international case studies pertaining to:
• The historic and ongoing interaction between religion and politics.
• The impact of religious radicalism on public policy, political attitudes and decision-making.
• The contemporary politics of religious revival in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, and Asia.
• The historical and contemporary politics of secular 'totalising' movements, such as fascism, Nazism, Stalinism, Maoism, and Ba'athism.
• Conflicts between illiberal ideologies (both religious and secular) and their opponents.
• Constructions of the sacred and the secular in political religions and other political ideologies.
• Publicly enforced (ir)religion and dissent.
• Class, gender and race in the context of political religions and religious politics.
• Memory, memory culture and the politics of memory in the context of totalitarianism and radical ideologies.
Committed to methodological and empirical eclecticism, Politics, Religion & Ideology continues to bring together leading academics and younger researchers engaged in exploring the above thematic. Directed to historians, social scientists, and policy analysts alike, the journal promotes original scholarship that demonstrates an acute awareness of the conceptual and methodological problems raised by the study of social phenomena, such as radicalism and political violence. The journal invites contributions that map common areas between different subject areas, revises conventional definitions of key concepts and, where appropriate, applies non-Eurocentric perspectives to political events, political ideas and political actors.

Endorsements for Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions:
For over a decade, Politics,Religion & Ideology has been the most vital journal for new studies on fascism, and it has now additionally become the leading forum for the analysis of the nexus between religion and radical ideology. Its focus is unique and extremely valuable for contemporary history and politics, for it has no rival as a venue for the broad and comparative treatment of radical ideologies.
-------- Professor Stanley Payne--------
Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions presents cogent research in the area of extremist ideologies. Contributors to the journal include some of the most distinguished scholars in the fields of history and political science who study Fascism, Communism, Islamism, and related ideologies. Most important, the research is presented in a dispassionate style in marked contrast to the tendentious tenor that so often characterizes studies in these fields.
--------Dr George Michael--------
Since its foundation at the turn of the new millennium, Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions has offered a unique forum for the comparative and interdisciplinary discussion of radical ideologies, movements and regimes. It is now widely recognised as a major source in the re-thinking of forces such as communism, fascism and Islamism, which have shaped the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
