Mission & Scope

Mission Statement

Forefront in Sociology & Political Sciences is committed to advancing knowledge and fostering scholarly discourse in the fields of sociology and political science. Our mission is to provide a dynamic platform for cutting-edge research, theoretical exploration, and empirical analysis that addresses critical issues in contemporary society and politics. We aim to bridge the gap between academic inquiry and real-world application, encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue and innovation in understanding the complex forces shaping human societies, political systems, and governance structures.

Our journal is dedicated to promoting high-quality, peer-reviewed research that challenges conventional wisdom and explores new perspectives on social, political, and cultural phenomena.

Our aim is to foster a holistic understanding of the social and political challenges of our time, recognizing the interconnectedness of global systems and local contexts.

We invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to submit original research articles, theoretical essays, literature reviews, and book reviews. We welcome contributions from early-career scholars as well as seasoned academics, with the aim of fostering diverse perspectives and enriching the academic conversation within sociology and political science.
