Top PA journals remain primarily west centered.
Hardly any research engaging with different dimensions of colonialism & neocolonialism is published in top PA journals. A thread about the state of affairs in top 4 PA journals & exemplars of such research in the 21st century...

In last 20 years, @PAReview,the top ranked PA journal,has only 5 articles that directly engage with colonialism/neocolonialism in depth.The best article (linked below) is by @NilimaGulrajani & @Global_Academic.Honorable mentions:Ali Farazmand & Sunil Tankha https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1540-6210.2011.02489.x
@JPART1991 has never published any article that directly engages with colonialism/neocolonialism in depth. The only article that comes close is a thoughtful article on comparative PA by Yilin Hou and colleagues from Minnowbrook-III https://academic.oup.com/jpart/article-abstract/21/suppl_1/i45/914111
@PMReview_,currently the 2nd ranked journal, has 7 articles in 20 yrs that engage with colonialism in depth. The best, from a theoretical standpoint are, Mick Moore's work on political underdevelopment & Shamsul Haque's work on Citizen's Charter in India. https://doi.org/10.1080/14616670110050020
@PA_journal has 5 such articles. The best is the excellent article by Candler, Azevêdo & Albernaz on epistemic colonialism and its impact on global scholarship in PA with special focus on Latin America. Honorable mentions: Binderkrantz, Cyan & Morrell. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9299.2010.01842.x
This is part of a systematic literature review I am currently doing. Happy to share data with interested scholars. People might disagree over the exact no. of such articles but the pattern holds. One possible explanation:scholars send less of such work to top PA journals.
