'''''Anarchist Studies''''' is a biannual [[academic journal]] on [[anarchism]]. It takes an [[interdisciplinary]] approach, examining the history, culture, and theory of anarchism. The journal was established in 1993 and is edited by [[Ruth Kinna]] and published by [[Lawrence and Wishart]].

== Overview ==
The journal focusses on three broad themes: the re-evaluation of [[anarchist history]], with regard to issues of culture, philosophy, and political action; the potential future of anarchism as a form of critical political action; and the application of anarchist ideas as an instrument of scholarly research. The journal publishes special issues on topics which have included [[Human sexuality|sexuality]], [[science-fiction]], and "anarchism after [[September 11 attacks|September 11]]," as well as historical research on [[Leo Tolstoy]], [[Taoism]], [[John Locke]], and [[post-structuralism]]. More recently, a central focus of the journal has been anarchism's relation to [[globalisation]].<ref name=history>{{cite journal
