International Politics is published by Palgrave Macmillan and the Editors are Michael J Williams and Constanza Musu. The 'Emeritus Editor' is Michael Cox, Professor of International Relations at LSE.
It was first published under the title Co-Existence in 1964 by Pergamon. For a time, it was published independently, then from 1984 by Kluwer in the Netherlands (as Coexistence, no hyphen). The journal changed its title to International Politics in 1996 and moved to Palgrave Macmillan in 2003 (Volume 40).
International Politics defines itself as critical in character, truly international in scope, and totally engaged with the central issues facing the world today. Taking as its point of departure the simple but essential notion that no one approach has all the answers, it aims to provide a global forum for a rapidly expanding community of scholars from across the range of academic disciplines.
International Politics aims to encourage debate, controversy and reflection. Topics addressed within the journal include:
