ETHNOPOLITICS is an authoritative peer-reviewed journal published by Routledge. It has established a forum for serious debate and exchange on one of the phenomena that had a decisive impact during the last decades of the 20th century and will continue to be of great importance in the new millennium. The journal gives a voice to established and younger researchers and analysts from academic as well as practitioner backgrounds. We publish original work of the highest quality in the field of ethnopolitics with methodological approaches covering mainly the disciplines of political science and international relations and taking primarily a contemporary, current affairs perspective.

ETHNOPOLITICS maintains a fair balance between theoretical examination and case studies both of comparative as well as singular nature, covering all geographic areas. The major focus is on the analysis, management, settlement, and prevention of ethnic conflicts, on minority rights, group identity, the intersection of identity group formations and politics, on minority and majority nationalisms in the context of democratisation, and on the security and stability of states and regions as they are affected by any of the above issues. Particular attention is also devoted to the growing importance of international influences on ethnopolitics. Such influences include external diplomatic or military intervention, as well as the increasing impact of globalisation on ethnic identities and their political expressions.

ETHNOPOLITICS is managed by a team of four editors in the United Kingdom and the United States. The quality of each individual article and issue of the journal is ensured through the support of an editorial board consisting of some of the most prolific scholars and experienced practitioners in the field.

ETHNOPOLITICS was established in 2001 as The Global Review of Ethnopolitics, a free online journal. This was made possible through the generous support of the Canadian Themis Foundation, Inc., the Swiss-based International Relations and Security Network, and the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. The journal continues to receive additional support from the Specialist Group on Ethnic Politics of the Political Studies Association of the UK.
