European Political Science (EPS) is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR), since 2005 in collaboration with Palgrave Macmillan. The journal covers comparative politics, political economy, international relations, public administration, political theory, European studies and related disciplines.
Three out of the four issues each year concern professional matters of interest to political scientists in Europe. These issues are edited by Martin Bull (Academic Director of the ECPR), Luis de Sousa, Jonathan Moses, and Jacqui Briggs. The fourth issue, known as EPS Reviews is devoted entirely to reviews of recent books, and is edited by Peter Kennealy of the European University Institute, Florence (Italy). EPS Reviews began when EPS moved to Palgrave in 2005 and is co-sponsored by the European University Institute. Since then it has published reviews by leading European and international political scientists and theorists such as Jean Blondel, Rachel A Epstein, Michelle Everson, Michael Freeden, Michael Keating, Peter Lassman, Peter Mair, Glyn Morgan, Gianfranco Pasquino, and Philippe C. Schmitter. Other reviewers have included John Bruton, former Prime Minister of Ireland and EU Ambassador to the United States, and senior EU officials such as Albrecht Rothacher and Martin Westlake.
The journal is abstracted in The International Political Science Abstracts, a publication of the International Political Science Association. It is also covered in Worldwide Political Science Abstracts, European Sources Online and the International Bibliography of the Social Sciences. Since 2008 it is also indexed in the Web of Science.
The journal emerged out of the old ECPR News starting in 2001 as an in-house publication freely distributed to members by the ECPR before moving to Palgrave Macmillan in 2005. The full text of these early issues (Vols 1-3) is available online for free.
