Acta Politologica

Acta Politologica (AcPo) is a peer-reviewed political science journal published by the Institute of Political Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University. It is also an official journal of the Czech Political Science Association. The journal was established in 2009 and is published twice a year (in April and October). AcPo issues are posted online. AcPo publishes articles in both English and Czech.

Acta Politologica publishes texts on various political science themes, including comparative politics, political philosophy, political sociology, international relations, European studies, security studies, etc. The journal accepts for peer-review original manuscripts based on the author's research, as well as review articles, reviews, reports from conferences, etc. AcPo’s readership includes a wide range of people interested in political science as a broad academic discipline. The journal addresses scholars and students, but also policymakers and other readers.

AcPo is committed to the objective, impartial, and fair review process. All original articles undergo a double-blind peer-review process, which results in at least two reviews and recommendations. The reviewers receive an anonymous version of the original scientific articles exclusively through the AcPo online submission system, which is also used for the subsequent submission of reviews. However, the editors reserve the right to “desk reject” (without review or after a quick examination by an editorial board member) articles submitted to AcPo based on the low quality of the articles (such as poor language, unclear message, inconsistency, inaccuracy, unsuitability, unclear impact or novelty of the article, etc.).
