Journals
The Harvard library's attempt to draw attention to the problem of journal pricing made me realize that I had no idea what things look like in our corner of the academy. Herewith the results of some googling: institutional subscription prices, for the US-- print and online combined rate, where available, print-only where not.
Contemporary Political Theory, Palgrave: $970
Philosophy and Public Affairs, Blackwell: $208
Journal of Political Philosophy, Wiley: $938
Political Theory, Sage: $1095
European Journal of Political Theory, Sage: $804
History of Political Thought, Imprint: $320
Polity, Palgrave: $249
Ethics, Chicago: $438
Constellations: $1150
Political Studies, Wiley: "Combined Subscription with British Journal of Politics & International Relations and Political Insight and Political Studies Review and Politics" (sic; commas would be nice): $1707
PPE, Sage: $820
CRISPP Taylor & Francis: $703
Ethics, PPA, and HPT combined cost less than, say, CPT.
