Perspectives on Federalism is a free on-line peer-reviewed journal, promoted by the Centre for Studies on Federalism.

Perspectives on Federalism editorial board exploits at best the new technological features available for a dispersed team to work together as an international and interdisciplinary research group. 

The editorial board members monitor monthly the websites of 21 states (mainly federal states or states undergoing federalizing and devolution processes) and of 56 regional and international organizations in the world and are coordinated by the editorial coordinator. They send a report to the editorial board mailing list. These reports help the editorial board identify interesting themes for calls for papers and for solicited contributions – mainly notes, which will undergo double peer review as usual - by members of the editorial board, the scientific committee and other scholars with specific expertise. This working method aims at allowing Perspectives on Federalism to provide an overview of facts, issues, processes and debates around the world relevant for scholars interested in comparative federalism, regional integration, global governance and cosmopolitan democracy. This will help make the journal a forum for new ideas and comments to come up about the new developments regarding federalism around the globe. This will complement the usual publication of unsolicited papers. Perspectives on Federalism aims at publishing high quality papers at the forefront of the study of federalism in different disciplinary fields. Interdisciplinary research papers are also very much welcomed. 

The publication process (article proposal, peer review phase, author revision, linguistic revision, author final revision) is managed by the editorial coordinator, but can be monitored by all the editorial board members in a protected internet area. The editorial board meets usually three times a year at the Centre for Studies on Federalism. The board members who cannot come to Italy can participate on-line. We plan to launch a call for papers after each meeting to contribute to set the research agenda for scholars of federalism around the world.
