CALL FOR PAPERS

Federal Governance aims to contribute to a global dialogue on federalism and multi-level governance. We aim for a wide audience. Articles should be of interest to a global network of graduate students, researchers, and the attentive public. Articles should be written in a formal but accessible style. Please see for more information our submission guidelines (link).

‪Research Articles/Revised seminar papers (3000-3500 words)‬

Articles should be condensed and structured in a manner to be accessible to a wide audience. All essay-length contributions should be edited carefully for professional presentation as well as bibliographic accuracy. All bibliographic entries should be consistent and accurate, and should correspond to the Harvard Style. All essays will be formatted for electronic publication and should include a short abstract.

Book Reviews/ Research Commentary (500 words)

We accept book notes on recent and noteworthy books or previous articles appearing in Federal Governance or other academic journals. Book notes are succinct book reviews, which briefly explain the central theme or argument of a recent book and offer a preliminary analysis or judgment of its theme. Commentary should be measured in tone and aim to create dialogue and new understandings of the topic. This could also allow students to highlight the earliest stages of their graduate research programmes.

Review Essay (750-1000)

Review essays on recent debates are also welcome. Federal Governance is especially interested in identifying emerging fields of research in regions or topics that have thus far been under-represented in traditional academic journals. Authors are encouraged to contact the editor to determine if a review essay or book review project is likely to be accepted.
