Himalayan Politics is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by the Himalayan Research Institute, dedicated to advancing scholarly understanding and critical analysis of the polity, including political history, political systems, comparative politics, political behaviour, and political economy. With a broad scope encompassing politics at large, the journal provides a platform for rigorous academic inquiry and interdisciplinary research that addresses the complex and multifaceted nature of political science.

The Journal covers all topics in the aforementioned fields and welcomes both quantitative and qualitative approaches, and encourages submissions with original, latest and futuristically conceptualised research manuscripts, espoused with thoroughness and bearing improvement in already existing mainstream work.
