Australian Journal of Politics and History

Aims & Scope

Australian Journal of Politics and History publishes papers addressing significant problems of interest to those working in the fields of history, political science and international relations.

Articles explore the intersection between politics and history, intellectual history, political history, and the history of political thought.

The journal also publishes articles in the fields of international relations and Australian foreign policy, along with regular chronicles of Australian state/ federal politics, and Australian foreign policy.

While the journal has a primary focus on Australian politics, Australian history and their relationship, the editors welcome submissions on broader dynamics of international politics or case studies examining key issues of politics and/or history in different empirical sites.
