European Political Science (EPS) is the professional journal of the ECPR, devoted to publishing contributions written by and for the political science community, encompassing comparative politics, political economy, international relations, public administration, political theory, European studies and related disciplines.

The journal serves as a prime outlet for original research on substantial topics covering comparative politics and the political profession. This includes research pieces about the political science profession itself, including teaching and learning contributions, as well as book reviews. EPS also publishes Special issue and academic debate collections, as well as original datasets. 

EPS is a publication that aims to address the professional needs and aspirations of all political scientists, and as such, access to it is a benefit of ECPR membership.

Now accepting - Policy Commentaries

Jacqui Briggs Prize

Since 2015, the ECPR and EPS team have awarded the Jacqui Briggs prize for the best article appearing in the previous year's volume of EPS. The prize is named in honour of former EPS Editor, Jacqui Briggs, who passed away in 2018, and is given to an article that makes a substantial contribution to the field of political science, especially articles that contribute to the understanding of new and innovative trends in political science or to innovative approaches to teaching and learning in the profession.
