Aims & Scope

Business and Politics is a leading journal that publishes high-quality, original research on the intersection of business and politics. It is the premier outlet for research that analyzes the political economy of business, the political behavior of firms, and the political consequences of business activity. The journal welcomes theoretical and empirical contributions from a wide range of disciplines, including political science, economics, sociology, and management. We are particularly interested in research that offers novel insights into the complex and dynamic relationship between business and politics.
