Health Politics is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing scholarly understanding of how political processes, institutions, ideologies, and power structures shape health outcomes, health systems, and population well-being.
The journal provides a multidisciplinary platform spanning political science, public health, sociology, economics, and ethics. It welcomes contributions that examine the political determinants of health, comparative and global health policy, governance and accountability in health systems, social movements and civil society, the political economy of health and welfare, and ethical and normative dimensions of health decision-making.
Submissions that bridge disciplines, adopt historical or cross-national perspectives, and strengthen the evidence base for equitable and sustainable health policies are particularly encouraged.
In partnership with IPSA RC25 (Politics of Health Policy), Health Politics provides a forum for interdisciplinary scholarship on the politics of health and health policy.
