Manuscript Submission

Submissions are welcome on a wide range of topics within political science, political sociology, military sociology and civil-military relations. They should reflect current research that speaks to important theoretical and conceptual issues. Political commentaries and general essays are generally not published. All manuscripts undergo anonymous, blind peer review.

Manuscript Guidelines

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically through the journal's online submission portal. Submissions should be in Microsoft Word format, double-spaced, using a 12-point font. Manuscripts should typically range between 8,000 and 9,000 words, though longer manuscripts may be considered. Each submission must include an abstract of approximately 200 to 250 words. To ensure anonymity in the review process, authors should remove all identifying information from the manuscript, including names, affiliations, and acknowledgments. These details should instead be provided in a separate title page document.

Citations should follow The Chicago Manual of Style (17th Edition).
