Scandinavian Political Studies SCIE SSCI

Scandinavian Political Studies serves as a leading journal in the field of Nordic politics and public administration, providing a platform for the academic community to delve into the political systems of the Nordic countries. It also offers invaluable insights for policymakers and practitioners. The journal publishes research on political decision-making processes, the formation and implementation of public policies, electoral behavior and outcomes, the structure and function of political systems, and the efficiency and innovation in public administration, thereby fostering a deeper understanding of the uniqueness and universality of Nordic politics.

The journal encourages scholars to conduct research using data from Nordic countries, which often reflect the characteristics of the Nordic model in terms of social welfare, democratic participation, and governance efficiency. At the same time, it also welcomes contributions that, while not directly based on Nordic data, offer new perspectives or theoretical frameworks for understanding Nordic politics. In this way, it not only promotes the academic development of Nordic political studies but also provides important reference points for comparative political science and international political studies, enhancing the global influence and contribution of Nordic political research in the field of political science.
