Authors

The Journal's contributing authors include guiding intellectuals and exceptional scholars, leaders of state and pilots of democratic movements. It is not an exclusively academic journal, sheathed in social-science shibboleths; you'll find the Journal in university and local libraries, as well as in major bookstores. The Journal's contributors hail from countries across the globe.

Articles that appear in the Journal are widely cited, and reprinted in many languages. Some essays have earned great renown, becoming familiar to the intelligentsia-at-large—such as Robert Putnam's "Bowling Alone." The Journal's contributors are both scholars and practitioners, established and emerging.
