HeinOnline is pleased to announce the addition of Alternatives: Global, Local, Political to the Law Journal Library. Published by Sage, this respected peer-reviewed journal provides a forum for innovative thinking about politics in a rapidly changing world.
About the Journal
For nearly five decades, Alternatives: Global, Local, Political has provided a platform for scholars to explore how global forces influence local realities, and how communities respond, resist, and reimagine their political futures. Founded in 1975, the journal emerged from a period of intense geopolitical transformation and has remained committed to exploring new perspectives on conflict, cooperation, and change.
The journal’s articles push beyond traditional political science frameworks, drawing insights from sociology, environmental studies, cultural theory, and beyond. The result is a publication that encourages readers to think deeply about the connections between power, identity, and place in the 21st century.
Areas of Study
Alternatives: Global, Local, Political covers a broad range of topics within political science and international relations, including:
- Globalization and its local effects
- Political and social theory
- Environmental and security policy
- Peace and conflict resolution
- Comparative politics and development studies
- Emerging political identities and movements
Each issue highlights scholarship that questions assumptions, challenges established narratives, and explores alternative ways of organizing political life.
