Quarterly "Athenaeum. Polish Political Science Studies" (in Polish: "Athenaeum. Polskie Studia Politologiczne") is a well-known journal, which has an acknowledged scientific reputation.

Editorial strategy relies on cooperation of all leading political science research centers from all around the country.
The idea of "Athenaeum" is to consolidate Polish political science researchers.

Founders and members of the Editorial Board are aware of the uniqueness of Polish history of the last sixty years, which can and should become a valuable experience for political science outside the borders of our country.
