Political Quarterly is a widely influential academic journal that focuses on analysis and commentary in the fields of politics and public policy. The goal of this journal is to provide in-depth access to current academic debates and encourage critical thinking and knowledge argumentation. It is written in concise and clear language, avoiding the use of overly complex theoretical and technical terms, allowing readers to easily understand and absorb the viewpoints and insights presented.

The editorial committee of the magazine is composed of a group of independent scholars from different academic backgrounds and professional fields, who are jointly responsible for the content quality and direction of the journal. At present, the journal is published and distributed by Wiley Blackwell Publishing Company. In addition to publishing academic journals, it also actively carries out projects related to political book publishing, debate activities, and public lectures. It also established the famous Orwell Political Writing Award to recognize writers and journalists who have made outstanding achievements in the field of political writing.
