Muslim Integration into Western Cultures
The question of the attitudes of Muslims, especially Muslim immigrants, to the values and practices of the Western societies in which they are living has been a source of interest and sometimes controversy, especially over the last decade. The wealth of discussion that there has been has not always been well informed. A recent paper in Political Studies by distinguished North American political scientists Pippa Norris and Ronald F.Inglehart brings some much-needed hard evidence to the debate.
REF guarantee to authors
The Editors of Political Studies made a commitment to submitting authors that all articles accepted prior to the end of December 2012 will be published online well in time for inclusion in authors’ REF returns. This commitment still stands and, in addition, we will continue to expedite the publication of papers by UK-based authors as they are accepted over the coming months, so that as many as possible make it under the wire for the census cutoff date of 29 November 2013.
