World Politics, founded in 1948, is an internationally renowned quarterly journal of political science published by Johns Hopkins University Press and produced under the editorial sponsorship of the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies at Princeton University. The journal is published in both print and online versions. Open to contributions by all scholars, the editors invite submission of analytical/theoretical articles, review articles, and research notes bearing on problems in international relations and comparative politics. It does not publish strictly historical material, articles on current affairs, policy pieces, or narratives of a journalistic nature. Articles submitted for consideration are unsolicited, except for review articles, which are usually commissioned.

Procedures for reviewing manuscripts are based on the anonymity of the author and the confidentiality of readers' and editors' reports; author anonymity is preserved, as well, during the editorial decision-making process. Self-references should therefore be removed. Referees are drawn from Princeton and other institutions; published articles have usually been reviewed by the editors and at least two readers from other institutions. Referees for the previous calendar year are acknowledged in the July issue of the journal.

World Politics does not accept manuscripts that have already been published, are scheduled for publication elsewhere, or have been simultaneously submitted to another journal; this applies to both print and online formats. Statements of fact and opinion appearing in the journal are made on the responsibility of the authors alone and do not imply the endorsement of the editors or publisher. The journal does not publish communications to the editor or rejoinders to specific articles. Scholars who believe they have been challenged are encouraged to submit an article that will advance the scholarly debate.

Manuscript and notes should be double-spaced and submitted in triplicate, together with an abstract. Word count should be indicated. Manuscripts may be up to 10,000 words, including notes; those that exceed the limit by more than 10 percent will not be considered. The editors strive to complete the review process within four months. Address: WORLD POLITICS, Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, Aaron Burr Hall, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544. E-mail: ipcohen@princeton.edu.
