The Helvidius Group - Journal of Politics & Society

Archive

The archives on this page represent most of the 20-year history of the Journal, from its inaugural issue printed on a photocopier to the nationally distributed and internationally recognized publication of today. The Journal has evolved substantially over time, growing from a magazine format to that of a scholarly research journal. Along the way, its name has changed from the Columbia Undergraduate Journal of Law and Public Policy to Helvidius: the Journal of Politics & Society to its present form, the Journal of Politics & Society. To distinguish the Journal from the Sage Publications periodical, Politics & Society, the Journal is sometimes referred to as Columbia University's or the Columbia University Journal of Politics & Society, though this is not part of its official ISSN record.
