Call for Special Issue Proposals

2025-07-07

Politics of the Low Countries (PLC) invites proposals for a special issue to be published in an upcoming volume of the journal. We welcome proposals that address key political science themes relevant to the Low Countries, including but not limited to: electoral politics, political parties, governance and public policy, foreign policy, European integration, political institutions, and regionalism.

Proposals should demonstrate a clear thematic focus and relevance to the Benelux region, while ideally connecting local developments to broader international or comparative debates.

Submission guidelines:

  • Submit a proposal of about 500 words outlining the theme, scope, and directions for potential contributions of the special issue.
  • Include the names and affiliations of the two proposed guest editors. Guest editors must be affiliated with two different universities, ideally from two different countries within the Benelux.
  • Deadline for submission: 8 September 2025 
  • Send proposals to: plc-journal@posteo.eu

The PLC Editorial Board will review all submitted proposals and make a selection during its upcoming board meeting. Guest editors of the selected proposal will subsequently be invited to develop a more detailed Call for Papers for their special issue, following the format and standards of previous PLC special issues (see: https://plc-journal.eu/announcement/view/243).
