the potential future of anarchism as a current of critical political action
the application of anarchist ideas as an instrument of research

Recent highlights include special issues on sexuality, and on science-fiction, and articles on Tolstoy, Daoism, Locke and post-structuralism.

‘There has been a remarkable surge of interest in anarchist thought and practice in recent years. Anarchist Studies has played an important part in this revival with serious and constructive inquiries into anarchism’s historical experience and animating ideas, and valuable contributions to enriching and deepening them’
Noam Chomsky

‘Many academic journals are interchangeable, but Anarchist Studies is full of material you will discover nowhere else’ Colin Ward
