Mediterranean Politics

期刊简介：Mediterranean Politics is a refereed journal which brings together research on the contemporary politics and international relations of the Mediterranean and the regions surrrounding it. The Mediterranean is understood not only as those countries whose borders are partially or wholly defined by the sea itself, but as a space that spans the continents of Europe, Africa and Asia. Thus, the journal seeks to act as a bridge between the relevant regional studies communities, and our coverage is inclusive of countries and populations in the broader European, African (North Africa and the Sahel), Middle Eastern (the Mashreq and the Gulf) and West Asian regions. Moreover we welcome contributions that examine the linkages between the Mediterranean area and the wider world. The journal seeks to shed light on the connectedness of polities and societies and thus takes an inter-disciplinary approach which, while generally focused on the disciplines of politics and international relations, is inclusive where appropriate of economics, political economy, human geography, sociology and anthropology. The journal does not, however, generally accept articles on historical subjects that lack direct contemporary linkage and our economic coverage is confined to those subjects that are likely to be of interest to a largely politics and international relations readership. The articles included in the journal are based on original research. Some focus on individual states, others on the relationships between them, on the international organisations which facilitate or complicate such relationships, or on themes and issues that are common to some or all. Besides research articles, the journal publishes a regular Profiles section, devoted to briefer analysis of recent events or developments, and a substantial book review section, usually containing a review article. While some issues are general ones with varied content, others are special or themed issues that include guest-edited collections of articles, usually including a substantive introduction which seeks to frame or theoretically ground the subject. On occasion, a general issue of the journal may include a themed section comprising a more limited number of related articles.

【译文】《地中海政治》是一本参考期刊，汇集了地中海及其周边地区当代政治和国际关系的研究。地中海不仅被理解为那些边界部分或全部由海洋本身界定的国家，而且被理解为横跨欧洲、非洲和亚洲大陆的空间。因此，该杂志力求成为相关区域研究界之间的桥梁，我们的覆盖范围包括更广泛的欧洲、非洲（北非和萨赫勒）、中东（马什雷克和海湾）和西亚地区的国家和人口。此外，我们欢迎研究地中海地区与更广泛世界之间联系的贡献。该杂志旨在阐明政治和社会的联系，因此采取跨学科的方法，虽然总体上侧重于政治和国际关系学科，但在适当的情况下也包括经济学、政治经济学、人文地理学、社会学和人类学。然而，该杂志一般不接受缺乏直接当代联系的历史主题文章，我们的经济报道仅限于那些主要是政治和国际关系读者可能感兴趣的主题。该期刊中包含的文章基于原创研究。有些关注个别国家，有些则关注国家之间的关系，关注促进或复杂化这种关系的国际组织，或者关注某些或所有人共同的主题和问题。除了研究文章外，该杂志还定期出版“概况”部分，专门对最近的事件或发展进行简要分析，以及一个内容丰富的书评部分，通常包含一篇评论文章。虽然有些期刊是具有不同内容的一般期刊，但其他期刊则是特殊期刊或主题期刊，其中包括客座编辑的文章集，通常包括旨在框架或理论上奠定主题的实质性介绍。有时，期刊的一般期刊可能包括主题部分，其中包含数量有限的相关文章。有关如何提交或提议文章集的更多信息，请访问我们的作者指南页面。
