British Politics

Journal Title：British Politics

British Politics offers the only forum explicitly designed to promote research in British political studies, and seeks to provide a counterweight to the growing fragmentation of this field during recent years. To this end, the journal aims to promote a more holistic understanding of British politics by encouraging a closer integration between theoretical and empirical research, between historical and contemporary analyses, and by fostering a conception of British politics as a broad and multi-disciplinary field of study. This incorporates a range of sub-fields, including psephology, policy analysis, regional studies, comparative politics, institutional analysis, political theory, political economy, historical analysis, cultural studies and social policy.While recognising the validity and the importance of research into specific aspects of British politics, the journal takes it to be a guiding principle that such research is more useful, and indeed meaningful, if it is related to the field of British politics in a broader and fuller sense.The scope of the journal will therefore be broad, incorporating a range of research papers and review articles from all theoretical perspectives, and on all aspects of British politics, including policy developments, institutional change and political behaviour. Priority will, however, be given to contributions which link contemporary developments in British politics to theoretical and/or historical analyses. The aim is as much to encourage the development of empirical research that is theoretically rigorous and informed, as it is to encourage the empirical application of theoretical work (or at least to encourage theorists to explicitly signify how their work could be applied in an empirical manner).

《英国政治》是专门为促进英国政治研究而设计的唯一论坛，旨在平衡近年来该领域日益分散的局面。为此，该期刊旨在通过鼓励理论研究与实证研究、历史分析与当代分析之间的更紧密结合，以及通过培养将英国政治视为一个广泛的多学科研究领域的概念，促进对英国政治的更全面的了解。该期刊涵盖一系列子领域，包括选举学、政策分析、区域研究、比较政治学、制度分析、政治理论、政治经济学、历史分析、文化研究和社会政策。该期刊承认研究英国政治具体方面的有效性和重要性，但其指导原则是，如果研究与更广泛、更全面的英国政治领域相关，则该研究更有用，也更有意义。因此，该期刊的范围将很广泛，涵盖从所有理论角度和英国政治各个方面（包括政策发展、制度变革和政治行为）的一系列研究论文和评论文章。但是，将优先考虑将英国政治的当代发展与理论和/或历史分析联系起来的投稿。其目的既是鼓励发展理论上严谨、有见地的实证研究，也是鼓励理论工作的实证应用（或至少鼓励理论家明确表明他们的工作如何以实证方式应用）。
