Professor Justin Fisher, Head of the Department of Social and Political Sciences at Brunel, said: “I’m delighted that the team will have an opportunity next year to really make our mark on Political Studies Review.
“That we’ve been entrusted with the editorship of such a well-respected journal speaks volumes for the great reputation of Brunel’s politics department.”
