International Critical Thought is an English-language quarterly journal hosted by the Institute of Marxism Studies [2] at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and published by Routledge in the UK since March 2011. The journal is currently calling for submissions. It emerged as a response to contemporary developments that have challenged the international capitalist order and prompted global calls for fundamental change. ICT serves Marxist and other leftist scholars in reflecting on the past and inquiring into the future, emphasizing the coalescence of social concern with academic rigor, aiming to improve reality through a better understanding of it.
As a 21st-century forum, ICT supports cultural diversity and intellectual openness, facilitating dialogues within the leftist community and between the left and other currents of social thought. Based in China, the journal pays particular attention to the experiences of the developing world, including China’s rise and its implications for the global socialist movement. ICT is indexed in major databases including ESCI (Web of Science), Scopus, and others. The journal welcomes scholarship from various disciplines and in various formats, including original articles (up to 12,000 words), interviews, and book reviews (from 2,000 words), following the Chicago Manual of Style.
