Swiss Poli­ti­cal Sci­ence Review aims to be a plu­ra­list plat­form for advan­cing aca­de­mic know­ledge and deba­te in the field of poli­ti­cal sci­ence, and in par­ti­cu­lar for deve­lo­ping intel­lec­tu­al exchan­ge across tra­di­tio­nal bounda­ries bet­ween its sub­fields and with its neigh­bou­ring disci­pli­nes. Accord­in­gly, it publishes ori­gi­nal and inno­va­ti­ve work that makes a theo­re­ti­cal or empi­ri­cal con­tri­bu­ti­on to the stu­dy of poli­ti­cal phe­no­me­na. SPSR encou­ra­ges con­tri­bu­ti­ons from dif­fe­rent theo­re­ti­cal and metho­do­lo­gi­cal approa­ches in order to fur­ther their mutu­al enga­ge­ment.
