The ECPR Press publishes original research from
leading political scientists and the best
amongst young scholars in the discipline. Its
scope extends to all fields of political
science, international relations and political
thought, without restriction in either approach
or regional focus. It is also open to
interdisciplinary work with a predominant
political dimension. Publications by the Press
are refereed by either the members of the
Editorial Board or by external readers.
Since the ECPR's establishment in 1970,
publishing research in political science and
political thought has been one of its key
activities, initially through the publication of
specialised journals for the profession, and
subsequently with the launch of several
specialised book series in collaboration with
academic publishers.
In 2005 the ECPR launched its own publishing
imprint: ECPR Press, with the intention of
offering a service to the profession and the
political science community by promoting the
publication of high-quality research from young
scholars
(ECPR Monographs)
and by republishing books that had made a
significant contribution to scholarship in
political studies, but were no longer available
(ECPR
Classics). Since then, it has
progressively expanded its scope with the
publication in English work by more established
scholars, which had already appeared in other
languages, as part of the Monographs series; and
by printing several volumes of general interest
to the profession.
The ECPR Press now has a growing list of
high-quality works in its catalogue and in
2011 two new series were added.
ECPR Studies in European Politics
and
Essays.
Further information on the Press and on its four
Series can be found in its
Scope and Aims document.
