European Journal of Politics and Gender

Aims & Scope

The European Journal of Politics and Gender (EJPG) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes international, cutting-edge research in the broad field of politics and gender.

EJPG is endorsed by the Gender and Politics Standing Group of the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR).

EJPG is firmly embedded in global politics and gender scholarship; its scope is not limited to Europe.

It aims to advance gender and politics research in all its diversity.

To this end it publishes research articles in the wide field of gender and politics, including a variety of geographical and thematic foci, methods and epistemological traditions.

Contributions may rely on single-country case studies as much as cross-national comparative work or theoretical debates.

The core criterion for publication is innovation and rigorous argumentation.

Articles must have a clear ‘take home message'.

EJPG understands gender as a political phenomenon that shapes power relations.

Gender is contextual and is influenced by the intersection of multiple social categories and identities.

The processes produce patterns of political inclusion and exclusion that are sometimes immediately visible, but often also hidden.

EJPG therefore studies formal and informal components of politics in local, national, transnational and global realms.

Subfields encompass, but are not limited to: social movements; representation; political participation; governance; public policy; the European Union; political economy; conflict and development; citizenship; LGBTQI politics; sexuality; and international relations.
