International Critical Thought (ICT) is an English-language academic quarterly hosted by the Academy of Marxism [1] of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and published by Routledge in the United Kingdom since March 2011. The journal was established in response to global developments that have called the international capitalist order into question, leading many worldwide to seek fundamental change. It serves as a platform for Marxist and other leftist scholars to reflect on history and explore the future, emphasizing the integration of social concern with academic rigor, with the ultimate goal of improving reality through a deeper understanding of it.
As a forum for the 21st century, ICT upholds cultural diversity and intellectual openness. It is dedicated to facilitating dialogues not only within the leftist community but also between leftist thought and other social intellectual currents. Furthermore, as a journal based in China, it pays particular attention to the developmental experiences of the Global South, including the implications of China’s rise for the world at large and for the international socialist movement.
ICT is currently indexed in several major international databases, including the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Scopus, Index Copernicus International (ICI), ANVUR (Italy), UGC-CARE (India), and ABCD.
As an international outlet for leftist scholarship, ICT welcomes submissions across various disciplines using diverse research methodologies. In addition to original research articles, the journal accepts interviews, book reviews, and reports on conferences, organizations, or events relevant to the global left. Manuscripts should generally range from 2,000 words (for reviews) to a maximum of 12,000 words (for articles) and follow the Chicago Manual of Style.
Submissions should be made via the journal’s online portal at Taylor & Francis Online. For further information, the editorial office can be reached at ict@cass.org.cn.
