Totalitarian Movements and Political Religion promotes original scholarship that demonstrates an acute awareness of the conceptual and methodological problems raised by the study of social phenomena, such as radicalism and political violence. The journal invites contributions that map common areas between different subject areas, revise conventional definitions of key concepts and apply non-Eurocentric perspectives to key historical events and key political actors. Journal contributions are peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and international in scope.
