The Journal of Theoretical Politics upholds the rigorous academic standards of international peer review and is committed to advancing innovation and development in political theory. This journal not only provides scholars with a platform for publishing original theoretical contributions but also encourages in-depth discussion and critical analysis of political theory. It covers a wide range of theoretical topics, from foundational issues in political philosophy to the application of modern political economy, and to the psychological and sociological interpretations of political behavior.

The journal particularly emphasizes the universality and applicability of theory, encouraging researchers to propose innovative theoretical frameworks that can stimulate academic discussions and guide political practice. In addition, the magazine also values critical reflection and synthesis of existing theories to promote the deepening of theory and interdisciplinary dialogue. It also pays attention to the application of theory to real-world issues, such as democratization, governance, social justice, and globalization. By publishing these research findings, the journal aims to build a bridge between the theoretical development and empirical research in political science, helping scholars and policymakers to better understand complex political phenomena and providing theoretical support and strategic advice for solving real political issues.
