Quaderni di scienza politica

Founded in 1994, the aim of the journal is to contribute to the systematic knowledge of political phenomena in a period of profound transformation. The journal includes theoretical essays, articles with a theoretical leaning, and empirical investigations based on accurate quantitative and qualitative methodologies; it stimulates thought on the state of the art in different fields of political science with reviews of the existing literature. Finally, the journal promotes a constant collaboration with all the disciplines (legal, philosophical, historical, economic and sociological) that study politics using criteria which differ from those of political science, or that study phenomena which, while not strictly political, are nonetheless important for a full understanding of politics.
