Journal of Political and Military Sociology
JPMS
Founded in 1973
The JPMS is an independent, interdisciplinary, and biannual publication,
which has withstood the test of time for its uninterrupted publication.
In part, this was accomplished because from its very inception the JPMS
set high standards of scholarship and excellence. At the same time, over
the years the JPMS has been fortunate to have the professional support
of some of the leading scholars in the fields of political and military
sociology. Since its founding in 1973, the JOURNAL OF POLITICAL AND MILITARY
SOCIOLOGY has helped to generate scholarly interest in political and military
sociology by seeking to advance and disseminate social science knowledge
in these sub-fields and other areas in social sciences. By combining the two areas of political and military
sociology into one journal, the JPMS has brought together a number of scholars
with differing perspectives into the evaluation process of manuscripts.
The JPMS considers a variety of articles with diverse methodological
and theoretical approaches. Politics and the established institutions are
broadly defined to include not only the more established institutions within
a given state and society but also those phenomena and political processes
which are often outside the boundaries of the established order. In particular,
the journal welcomes articles that focus on such topics as: power, ruling
classes, elites, revolution, coup d'etats, dictatorship, espionage, geopolitics,
nationalism, guerrillas, extremist movements, military and paramilitary
organizations, political assassinations, violence, terrorism, genocide and mass
murder, propaganda, ideologies, national security, alternatives to militarism,
multinational corporations, modernization articles on the new order and globalization.
The JPMS also considers articles in regional and comparative studies and areas
such as changes in Eastern European Societies, the European union, the Middle
East,
the Balkans,
the
former Soviet Union republics, and other areas of conflict in Africa, Asia
and Latin America. The journal also publishes articles on social policy,
essays, symposia, book reviews, comments, and rejoinders.
