The journal RiTo
COLLABORATION WITH THE PUBLICATION RIIGIKOGU TOIMETISED
The publication Riigikogu Toimetised (RiTo) is a periodical journal focused on analysing the parliament’s constitutional and social tasks, published twice a year – in June and in December. RiTo is a journal for politicians, scientists, university lecturers, public officials, members of incorporated entities and non-profit associations, and for anyone interested in politics. RiTo’s mission is to encourage dialogue between scientists and statesmen. The section of surveys and opinions also publishes quality peer-reviewed scientific articles on interesting problems in modern society, public governance and politics. The journal aims to shed light on practical governance experiences through original research results from the social sciences.
For several years, the art featured in RiTo was selected in collaboration with the Estonian Artists Association. Three issues were published in collaboration in 2013 and 2014. The long-term collaboration came to an end in 2014 with the new editor-in-chief of the journal and structural changes at the journal.
