Global Perspectives in Political Psychology
About the Book Series
Global Perspectives in Political Psychology is a book series showcasing scholarly work over a wide range of areas within political psychology. The series welcomes theoretically and empirically informed scholarship, and the books in this series are designed to be authored or edited books on a circumscribed topic, including reviews and original research. Books may also take an applied approach, and offer practical guidance and interventions aimed at specific issues/contexts. Each volume in the series will make a conceptual contribution to the topic by reviewing and synthesizing the existing research literature, by advancing theory in the area, or by some combination of these missions. It is also expected that volumes will, to some extent, include an assessment of current knowledge and identification of possible future trends in research. The books should each consist of approximately 7-10 main chapters, well-structured and integrated to form a self-contained unit for the advanced reader.
