27 March 2026

Shape the future of BJPIR – Call for new editorial team

The Political Studies Association (PSA) is inviting expressions of interest for the next editorial team of the British Journal of Politics and International Relations (BJPIR). This is a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate leadership in the discipline, shape the future of a leading journal, and support the next generation of research in Politics and International Relations.

BJPIR is a leading international journal in Politics and International Relations, known for publishing rigorous, innovative, and impactful research. As the current editorial team prepares to step down in August 2027, the PSA is looking ahead to the journal’s next phase.

We are taking a staged approach, beginning with an expression of interest phase to allow prospective, editors individuals or/and teams, to come forward, explore collaborations, and develop ideas ahead of the formal application process.


How to express interest

At this stage, we are inviting:

  • A short statement (maximum one page) outlining your interest and initial vision for the journal (including any early thoughts on EDI)
  • A CV (or CVs for a team)

Following this, selected applicants will be invited to discuss their ideas further and develop full proposals.

🗓 Deadline: 31 May 2026

For informal enquiries, please contact Eva Kestner (Head of Operations and Finance, PSA) at [email protected].
