Manuscript Presentation

Manuscript Presentation
Article manuscripts should normally not be longer than 9,000 words. Please double space all material, including notes and references, and leave margins of at least 2.5cm. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indentation or by using a smaller typeface. Use single quotation marks for quotations, and double for quotations within quotations.

The journal’s language is English. British, American, or Australian English spelling and terminology may be used, but should be followed consistently throughout the article.

Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:

• title
• author(s)
• affiliation(s)
• full address for correspondence

Abstract
Please provide a short abstract of about 150 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.

Key Words
Please provide at least 5 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order.

Section Headings
Section headings should be clearly distinguishable but not numbered.

Notes and references
Please provide footnotes rather than endnotes. References to books should include the author’s name; title; place of publication; publisher; year of publication; and page numbers, in the order given in the example below.

Charles Beitz, Political Theory and International Relations (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1999), p. 140.

References to articles in an edited collection should include the author’s name; article title; editor’s name(s); title of collection; place of publication; publisher; year of publication; first and last page numbers of the article cited; and page reference, in the order given in the example below.

Michael Walzer, ‘Deliberation and What Else?’ in Stephen Macedo (ed.), Deliberative Politics: Essays on Democracy and Disagreement (New York: Oxford University Press, 1999), 58-69, p. 60.

References to articles in periodicals should include the author’s name; article title; full title of periodical; volume number (issue number where appropriate); year of publication; first and last page numbers; and page reference, in the order given in the example below.

A. J. Julius, ‘Basic Structure and the Value of Equality’, Philosophy and Public Affairs 31/4 (2003), 321-355, p. 321.

References to websites should follow as far as possible the format for references to articles, and include a full web address. For example:

P. Kanavos, J. Costa-i-Font, S. Merkur, and M. Gemmill, ‘The Economic Impact of Pharmaceutical Parallel Trade in European Union Member States’, (2004), LSE Working Paper, Workingpapers/Paper.pdf>

Pagination
Please remember to give full pagination (in the shortest form that guarantees clarity) for all articles, whether in edited collections or in journals; and use ‘p.’ or ‘pp.’ only when indicating a specific page or pages immediately thereafter (see examples above). Use single quotation marks for all article titles.

Where referring to a work cited in the previous footnote, use ‘Ibid.’; where referring to a work cited earlier, use the only author’s surname and year of publication, for example: Walzer (1999), p. 59.

Italics
Use italics for any necessary emphases and for words or phrases which are not English, unless they are in standard usage (for example, ‘bona fide’).
