Contributors sought for
The Encyclopedia of Modern Political Ideologies
to be published by M.E. Sharpe in 2004
Project Description
The Encyclopedia will be a two-volume academic reference work furnishing a
comprehensive overview of modern European and American political culture
from
the early modern period to the present. The Encyclopedia will consist of 28
chronologically-arranged chapters with an average length of 10,000 words
and a
maximum of 15,000 words per chapter. Each chapter will furnish a historical
review and critical examination of a major political ideology of the modern
era, from absolutism to the anti-neoliberal global justice movement. The
Encyclopedia is designed to serve as a standard, comprehensive reference
work
for universities, public libraries, media outlets, and individual
academics.
Authors will be encouraged to offer accessible (i.e., jargon-free) accounts
providing nonspecialists with an appropriate introduction to their subject
area, as well as information and interpretations that will be of interest
to
scholars specializing in the study of political ideologies. Each chapter
will
conclude with a ‘Focus’ item - a short (1-2,000) word evaluation of the
contribution of an important historian, philosopher or political scientist
to
our understanding of the political ideology under discussion - and a
bibliographical essay.
Final drafts are to be submitted to the general editor by April 30, 2003.
Upon
publication, contributors will be paid $500 (US) or $250 plus a copy of the
Encyclopedia. NB: This fee applies to authors who have published at least
one
monograph or two articles in peer-reviewed journals. Contributors who do
not
meet this criterion will be compensated at a somewhat lower rate.
