HPT created a space for multi-disciplinary academic discourse on political thought to be published. Initial journals were created as an outlet for the politics department at the University of Exeter.
Ten years after the creation of the journal, it was ranked 2nd out of 135 political science journals in a Political Studies Association peer review (Norris and Crewe, 1993).[1] HPT was also nominated as one of the top 100 Journals of the Century by subject-specialist librarians in the field of politics and international relations (Nisonger, 2008).[2]
