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 and the Department
of European Studies
at the University of Bath.
