Aims & Scope
This journal provides a forum for professionally informed commentary on issues affecting contemporary American politics.
This includes but is not limited to issues engaging parties, elections, and political participation; the news media, interest groups, Congress, the Presidency, and the Courts; trends in public finance, presidential popularity, congressional productivity; in contemporary, historical, or comparative perspective.
The journal is motivated by the view that social scientists, historians, and legal scholars frequently have important insights into the concerns that arise in contemporary politics and government, drawing upon the disciplinary knowledge at their command.
Yet they frequently lack a publishing outlet willing to print the analytic reasoning that gives weight to the resulting commentary.
The Forum is designed to fill this gap.
We contemplate a journal free of fixed position and requiring no particular verdict with respect to policies, institutions, or processes.
Well-reasoned discussion, disciplined by reference to established bodies of knowledge or aimed at stimulating the creation of such knowledge, is the goal of this journal.
