The Loop publishes short pieces on politics, policy programmes, societal and political issues.

We showcase the work of the political science discipline at its best. Our readership extends beyond fellow political scientists, to include policy-makers, journalists, businesspeople and the general public.

Pieces might distil an academic journal article, or analyse a topical news story from a political science perspective.

We draw contributions from ECPR’s 50+ Standing Groups and Research Networks; from our global institutional membership; and from across the wider political science community.
