Hebraic Political Studies is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal, published by the Shalem Press and devoted to recovering the Hebraic political tradition and evaluating its place in the history of political thought.

[edit] History

The journal was established in 2005 under the editorship of Meirav Jones and its first issue appeared in the fall of that year. Contributors include Arthur Eyffinger and Menachem Lorberbaum. Shmuel Trigano of the Paris X and Giuseppe Veltri of the University of Halle-Wittenberg are among the internationally well know scholars who sit on its editorial board.

Articles have discussed a diverse group of issues including Abraham Melamed's 'Is there a Jewish political thought'[1], Fania Oz-Salzberger's 'the Political Thought of John Locke and the Significance of Political Hebraism'[2] and most recently Shmuel Sandler's 'Toward a Theory of World Jewish Politics and Jewish Foreign Policy.'[3]

The journal takes its name in reference to the unique Hebrew political tradition that it hopes to explore and to set alongside the more well known Greek and Roman political traditions.
