Legislative Studies Quarterly (LSQ)

Legislative Studies Quarterly (LSQ) has been a cornerstone journal in legislative and political science research since its inception in 1976. As a quarterly scholarly publication, LSQ disseminates original research that advances understanding of legislatures and their place in political systems worldwide. Through rigorous peer review, the journal features empirical studies, comparative analyses, and theoretical work that explore legislative decision-making, institutional rules, electoral effects on legislative behavior, inter-institutional relations, representation, law-making dynamics, and cross-national patterns in legislative systems. The journal’s interdisciplinary scope bridges political science subfields such as comparative politics, American politics, public policy, and political institutions, encouraging contributions from researchers using quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. LSQ’s articles are widely cited and used in academic research, graduate training, and policy analysis, reflecting its influence on the broader field of political science. Published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Legislative Studies Section of the American Political Science Association, Legislative Studies Quarterly promotes high standards of scholarship and offers a global platform for innovative research on legislative phenomena.
