Regional And Federal Studies

(ISSN 1743-9434)

Aims and scope

From the European integration process to processes of decentralisation in the developing world, from post-conflict federal power-sharing arrangements to minority nationalist movements and the spatial rescaling of public policy, the study of federalism and territorial politics now covers a wide variety of topics dealing with divided political authority and levels of government.

Regional and Federal Studies is a refereed social science journal which provides an academic forum for the publication of leading international research on these issues. The journal carefully reviews, selects and publishes high-quality articles dealing with various aspects of comparative territorial politics, regionalism, federalism, subnational research, and multi-level governance crossing substantive, thematic, geographical, theoretical, and methodological boundaries.
