Feminist Theory is a new international interdisciplinary journal being published by SAGE Publications in April 2000. The journal is being launched to provide a forum for critical analysis and constructive debate within feminist theory. The journal will be edited by Gabrielle Griffin (Kingston), Rosemary Hennessy (SUNY), Stevi Jackson (York), and Sasha Roseneil (Leeds). Feminist Theory will seek to be genuinely interdisciplinary and to reflect the diversity of feminism, incorporating perspectives from across the broad spectrum of the humanities and social sciences and the full range of feminist politics and theoretical stances.

Democracy & Nature aims to become the international forum for inclusive democracy, a form of social organization which re-integrates society with economy, polity and nature. The concept of inclusive democracy is derived from a synthesis of two major historical traditions: the classical democratic and the socialist. It also encompasses radical green, feminist, indigenous and radical Third World movements. The journal will initiate a dialogue in which inclusive democracy and radical views will be discussed and contrasted with the aim of informing a new political praxis. Forthcoming issues: The Welfare State and Communalism: submissions by 3/31/99. Class, State and Ecology: submissions by 7/31/99. Post-modernism and the Democratic Project: submissions by 11/30/99.

New Political Science is the official journal of the Caucus for a New Political Science (CNPS), an Organized Section of the APSA. The focus of New Political Science, as official journal of the CNPS, is to develop analyses which reflect a commitment to progressive social change and which treat topics that are within exploratory phases of development in political science. It insists on the broadest possible definition of ‘politics,’ and holds that political and cultural development cannot be understood in isolation from each other. Each quarterly issue contains a combination of peer-reviewed scholarly articles and book reviews. Both themed and un-themed issues are published. The editors seek manuscripts that make contributions to critical thinking and progressive politics. Please send 5 copies of all manuscripts (no more than 40 pages), accompanied by an abstract (approx. 150 words) and a brief (approx. 25 words) autobiographical sketch of the author(s) Manuscripts should be submitted to: George Katsiaficas, Department of Humanities, Wentworth Institute of Technology, 550 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115 USA.
