Aim & Scope
Alternatif Politika (Alternative Politics) is an interdisciplinary international journal committed to publishing high-quality research papers in all areas of politics and international relations, as well as papers that cut across other disciplines such as cultural studies, geopolitics, and political economy.
The journal's editorial philosophy is to support a pluralistic approach to the political science discipline and debate. The editor particularly welcomes submissions that are inventive in their approach, cross traditional disciplinary boundaries, evaluate the relationship between domestic and international politics, or offer comparative perspectives.
