Ethics & International Affairs generally zeroes in on subjects such as Law, Politics, Political economy, Law and economics and Human rights. International law, Democracy, State (polity), International relations and Economic Justice are all subfields of Law research that were featured in it. The in-depth study on Politics also explores topics in the intersecting field of Intervention (law).
Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Political economy but it intersects with the subject of Economic history. It links adjacent topics like Human rights with Sovereignty.
Law, Human rights, Politics, Humanitarian intervention and State (polity) are the main subjects of interest in the most cited papers. The most cited publications tackle studies in Law and economics and the interrelated subject of Moral responsibility and Legitimacy to gain insights into Human rights. The journal articles explore issues in Politics which can be linked to other research areas like Political economy, Covenant and Power (social and political).
The objective of Ethics & International Affairs is to combine knowledge in the areas of Politics, Political economy, Law and economics, Food systems and Sovereignty. In addition to Politics research, it aims to explore topics under Effects of global warming, Refugee, Fundamental rights and Normative. While Law and economics is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Political violence, Argument, Institution, Economic Justice and Monopoly on violence.
The journal explores topics in Sovereignty which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Responsibility to protect, Intervention (law), Global governance, Foreign policy and Entrepreneurship. The Intervention (law) study featured falls within the larger field of Law. The Law study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Interpretation (philosophy).
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Ethics & International Affairs (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Ethics & International Affairs (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 94.44% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 50.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 50.00% of all publications and 0.00% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)Exploring Political Science often leads students to consider related fields that complement their understanding of law, justice, and public policy. One such pathway is a degree in criminal justice, which offers practical insights into the legal system and public safety. For those beginning their journey, numerous online criminal justice associate degree programs provide flexible options to gain foundational knowledge while balancing other commitments.
Many students are also curious about how much is criminal justice degree tuition and fees, which can vary widely depending on the institution and program format. Understanding these costs upfront is vital to making informed decisions about education investment.
Beyond criminal justice, there are specialized fields like forensic psychology that intersect law, psychology, and investigative techniques. For those interested, some of the forensic psychology master's programs are offered online, providing advanced skills applicable in legal settings and criminal investigations.
Additionally, studying legal processes through a focused program such as a paralegal school can enhance career prospects in the legal field. The best accelerated paralegal programs online are designed for students seeking a faster route to certification, making them an excellent complement to a Political Science background. Explore more about the paralegal school options available to find the right fit for your career goals.
