INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF POLITICS, CULTURE, AND SOCIETY
SOCIAL RESEARCH: AN INTERNATIONAL QUARTERLY
The International Journal of Politics, Culture, and Society provides a venue for articles and reviews on issues that arise at the intersections of nations, states, civil society, and global institutions. It is concerned with the interplay of macroscopic and microscopic structures and processes including changing configurations of ethnic groups, social classes, religions, and personal networks: the impact of social transformations, including new technologies of communication and media, on the order of public and private life. The journal is drawn to theoretical ideas and their connection to substantive normative concerns and encourages disciplined creativity. It is interdisciplinary in orientation and international in scope.
An award-winning journal, Social Research: An International Quarterly has been mapping the landscape of intellectual thought since 1934. Most issues are theme-driven, combining historical analysis, theoretical explanation, and reportage by some of the world’s leading scholars and thinkers. Articles cover the social sciences and humanities, thus promoting the interdisciplinary aims that have characterized The New School for Social Research since its inception. Recent issues have focused on such themes as “Happiness,” “Migration Politics,” “Russia Today,” “Collective Memory and Collective Identity,” and “Hannah Arendt: Political and Philosophic Perspectives.”
This quarterly publication is now being published by the Springer Publishing Company.
The journal’s conference series was launched in 1988 by Professor Arien Mack, who has edited Social Research since 1970. The conferences, all of which are subsequently published as special issues of the journal, aim to enhance public understanding of critical and contested issues by exploring them in broad historical and cultural contexts. We are currently planning a conference on “The Body and the State.” Recently published conference issues have addressed “Limiting Knowledge in a Democracy,” “Free Inquiry at Risk: Universities in Dangerous Times,” “The Religious-Secular Divide: The U.S. Case,” and “Disasters: Recipes and Remedies.”

In 2008 Dr. Mack established the Social Research Endangered Scholars Worldwide initiative as a response to the wrongful imprisonment by the Iranian authorities of one of our colleagues (who was also a Social Research author). We devote a section of every issue of the journal to publicizing the names of endangered scholars and students around the world, providing information about their plights and the actions that can be taken on their behalf. Each issue describes new cases as well as updates on the scholars whose cases we are tracking. We urge our readers and the public to voice their support for these endangered and imprisoned academics by writing letters and signing (letter templates and petitions are available on our website.
