The articles that meet the threshold requirements of the editors and are sent for judging, undergo a comprehensive and in-depth evaluation process. The articles are usually sent to two judges, experts in the field in which the article deals, who do their work anonymously - they do not know the identity of the author, and the author does not know who the judges of his article are.

• Is the manuscript interesting? Will it interest the readers of "Politika"?

• Does the article contribute to the progress of the field? Would you recommend a friend to read it?
