The PSR is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to promoting interdisciplinary scholarly study of the countries, regions, and communities that share, build on, or are transforming a Portuguese or Brazilian legacy. The PSR promotes a critical understanding of the historical and current evolution of political, economic, social and cultural networks incorporating Portugal, Brazil, and the various global or regional actors affected by Luso-Brazilian exploration, colonization, emigration, policy trends, trade agreements, and other linkages.


The PSR's scope extends to all relevant parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Contributions are invited from all disciplines. Particularly welcome are the fields of history, geography, economics, political science, international relations, sociology, policy studies, anthropology, ethnography and folklore, archaeology, cultural studies, and cultural and natural heritage conservation. The PSR also accommodates related discussions of methodology, critical theory, and metatheory. The Review is committed to methodological pluralism. We accept papers combining pure and applied research. All articles are expected to be accessible to readers from diverse backgrounds.
