Pôle Sud (PS)

Founded in 1994, South Pole . A South European Political Journal is a bi-annual academic journal sponsored by the CNRS (Center for Political and Social Studies – CEPEL ), as well as the Faculty of Law and Political Science of the University of Montpellier . The journal was founded with Southern Europe as a priority area and focused on political science themes. It continues to encourage articles and special issues dedicated to this region and within this discipline, but also welcomes proposals that address territories, themes and approaches that are different from them, while opening up to other social sciences. The themes of the South Pole special issues are very broad, as the titles of the latest publications show. Each issue is normally made up of a special issue (“Thema”) as well as stand-alone articles (“Arena”) and book reviews (“Lectures”). Some issues also contain accounts of recent South European elections. Pôle Sud is governed by a seven-member editorial board assisted by an international scientific advisory board of approximately twenty members. As a peer-reviewed journal all articles are subject to anonymous review by two outside experts. It is among the journals taken into account by the French Agency for the Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (AERES). It is published both in hard copy and in digital format accessible through Persée and Cairn . South Pole is indexed by Sociological Abstracts (USA) and, in Germany, by Zeller Dietrich Bibliographische Verlag .
