Call for Papers: Trends in Political Science

The International Political Science Association (IPSA) journal International Political Science Abstracts is currently seeking authors for the journal's Trends in International Political Science rubric. Every year, International Political Science Abstracts receives over 30,000 articles from around the globe, providing us with an unparalleled access to articles published in and around our discipline. Trends seeks to build on this material, determining six burgeoning currents in the field. We gather leading articles on these trends over the last 4-5 years and seek scholars with expertise in each of these areas to write a short (3500-4000 words) review of these works (in English). A Trends article is then published as the first chapter of each bi-monthly issue of the International Political Science Abstracts and distributed to libraries around the world in both print and database editions. 

We are currently soliciting authors to write articles on the following subjects:

1) Elite behavior in authoritarian regimes; 
2) Regime change;
3) Proxy wars;
4) Politics of Intersectionality; 
5) Deglobalization

If you are interested in writing an article in English on one of these topics, we ask that you please send an email to express your interest by 15 August 2025 to Trends.IPSA@gmail.com with copy to Stephen Sawyer < ssawyer@aup.edu > and Daniel Stockemer < daniel.stockemer@uottawa.ca >. Kindly include a CV that highlights your expertise (i.e., publications, teaching or research). We will contact selected authors with the relevant article titles and abstracts and expect a first draft of the Trends article by 10 November 2025. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need any further information.
