The St Antony’s Series

Four titles in the St Antony's Series of Books. They are: 'British Novels and the European Union' by Lisa Bischoff; 'The Fourth of August Regime and Greek Jewry, 1936-1941' by Katerina Lagos; 'Media Caputre and Corrupt Journalists: How Europeanization Helped Build Façades of Democracy' by Tomislav Maršić; and 'Migration from Nigeria' and the Future of Global Security' by Frank Aragbonfoh Abumere and John Sodiq Sanni.

The St Antony’s Series at Palgrave Macmillan publishes leading research in international affairs, politics, area studies, and more. Contributors have a connection to St Antony’s College, a renowned centre for research and teaching at the University of Oxford. See all the books in the Series on SpringerLink. 

As Palgrave Macmillan’s oldest book series, the Series has grown to more than 400 books over the past 40 years. It includes both single-author monographs and edited volumes for academic and nonspecialist readerships. The Series covers all parts of the world and spans a range of disciplines including political science, history, and sociology. Contributors hail from both academic and practice-oriented fields, such as public policy and think tanks. 

The Series also hosts events and a podcast series featuring the editors and authors of new books. 

The current editors of the Series are Professors Raihan Ismail and Leigh Payne, both of St Antony’s College.

Prospective authors should consult the forms below and contact the Editors with any questions.

By publishing with the Series, authors receive the best of both a small and a large publisher. First, they work closely with the co-editors, Professors Raihan Ismail and Leigh Payne, to develop their proposals. Next, with Palgrave Macmillan, authors benefit from the marketing, distribution, and commercial weight of a major academic publisher.

At Palgrave Macmillan, authors will work with Publishing Editor Ambra Finotello. To learn more about publishing with Palgrave, visit their website. Hear from Palgrave authors about their experiences here.

Published works feature prominently at St Antony’s and its regional centres. Authors are invited to take part in events, panel discussions, and podcast episodes focused on their work. Listen to the podcast here.

To mark the College’s 75th anniversary, the Series is publishing themed volumes celebrating the intellectual contributions of St Antony’s scholars. A twist and innovation on the traditional Festschrift, our “Fresh Riffs” aim to provide critical perspectives from a range of contributors on themes or issues addressed by the scholar’s work.

For more information, please see the full description at this link.

A preface for the volumes written by Prof Roger Goodman, the College Warden, is available here.

Prospective authors should contact Series editors (Raihan Ismail and Leigh Payne) to discuss proposals either in person or via email. All prospective authors must have a connection to St Antony’s in order to submit a proposal.
