Revista de Estudios Políticos is a Spanish academic journal covering political history, comparative politics, and public policy with origins in mid‑20th century Iberian scholarly renewal. It has published research by scholars associated with institutions such as Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Universidad de Barcelona, and Instituto de Estudios Políticos. The journal engages debates linked to figures and events like Francisco Franco, Adolfo Suárez, Transition to democracy in Spain, European Union, and comparative studies involving United Kingdom, United States, France, and Germany.
Founded in 1941 under auspices connected to Spanish state and academic networks, the journal appears alongside contemporaneous periodicals such as Revista de Occidente and Cuadernos para el Diálogo. Early editors drew on intellectual currents influenced by scholars from Instituto de Estudios Políticos, Real Academia de la Historia, and affiliations with Ministerio de Educación Nacional (Spain). Through the 1950s and 1960s it published work commenting on topics related to Second Spanish Republic, Spanish Civil War, and international frameworks including United Nations debates and postwar institutions like NATO and Council of Europe. In the late 1970s editors navigated transitions associated with King Juan Carlos I, Adolfo Suárez, and the 1978 Spanish Constitution of 1978, broadening contributions to comparative studies with scholars linked to Harvard University, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Yale University, and University of Chicago.
The journal's remit includes historical analysis, institutional studies, and normative inquiry often intersecting with work on political thought by authors connected to Karl Marx, Alexis de Tocqueville, Jürgen Habermas, Max Weber, and Hannah Arendt. Regional studies appear alongside comparative pieces addressing systems in Latin America, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Poland, and Russia. Thematic issues have engaged with phenomena tied to European Commission, Council of the European Union, European Parliament, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank policy debates, as well as intellectual histories referencing José Ortega y Gasset, Miguel de Unamuno, and Antonio Gramsci.
Editorial leadership has included scholars affiliated with Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and research centers like Centro de Estudios Políticos y Constitucionales. The editorial board typically features members from London School of Economics, Columbia University, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, and University of Bonn. Peer review procedures reflect standards comparable to those of journals such as American Political Science Review, Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, and European Journal of Political Research, with external referees often drawn from networks that include Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brown University, and University of Toronto.
The journal is indexed in databases and services akin to Scopus, Web of Science, Dialnet, JSTOR, and regional indexes coordinated by Redalyc and Latindex. Libraries that hold archival runs include Biblioteca Nacional de España, British Library, Library of Congress, Bibliothèque nationale de France, and university repositories at Universidad de Salamanca and Universidad de Sevilla.

Huntington, David Easton, and Giovanni Sartori.
