New Political Science: A Journal of Politics and Culture (NPS) focuses on developing analyses which reflect a commitment to progressive social change. The journal adopts the broadest possible definition of “politics,” and holds that political and cultural development cannot be understood in isolation from each other. New Political Science is the official journal of the Caucus for a Critical Political Science (CCPS), an independent non-profit organization, and serves as an organ for its goals and interests. CCPS was founded in 1967 to make the study of politics relevant to the struggle for a better world. The Caucus is organized around the position that a commitment to social justice, a sustainable democratic society, and human rights is central to the study of politics. CCPS and the journal are also affiliated with the New Political Science section of the American Political Science Association (APSA).Peer Review All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous double-anonymous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent expert referees, and consequent revision by article authors when required.
