History
The Michigan Journal of Political Science was established in 1981 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. It has been published biannually every year since. Originally, the journal published only papers within the field of political science proper, excluding public policy, law, and other related fields. In 1991, however, the journal began expanding its focus to include other fields such as sociology, history, public policy, economics and political philosophy, so long as they related to political affairs. In 1995, it was recognized by UNESCO as one of the top political science journals (including undergraduate, graduate student, and professional journals) worldwide. Currently, the journal targets academic institutions, libraries, government offices, and think tanks, as well as a limited private readership. Nearly a fifth of the journal's readership lies outside the United States.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
