Special Issue on Political Philosophy

Political philosophy, or political theory, is the study of topics such as politics, liberty, justice, property, rights, law, and the enforcement of laws by authority: what they are, why (or even if) they are needed, what, if anything, makes a government legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should protect and why, what form it should take and why, what the law is, and what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, if any, and when it may be legitimately overthrown, if ever.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on political philosophy. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Government political management
• Law & political sciences
• Political rights
• Political attitudes
• Political theory and empirical study
• Political policy analysis
• Political institutional analysis
• Political justice and democracy
• Conflict studies

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Political Philosophy” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
