It is published biannually. The Journal is managed by an editorial team consisting of Jean-Paul Gagnon from the University of Canberra, and Emily Beausoleil from the Victoria University of Wellington. The Journal encourages philosophical and interdisciplinary contributions that critically explore democratic theory—in all its forms. Spanning a range of views, the journal offers a cross-disciplinary forum for diverse theoretical questions to be put forward and systematically examined. It advances non-Western as well as Western ideas and is actively based on the premise that there are many forms of democracies and many types of democrats.[1]

It is subscribed to by 398 of the libraries covered by WorldCat.[2]
