About the Journal

The Journal of International Relations and Global Affairs publishes original, peer-reviewed research on the theory and practice of international relations, including diplomacy and negotiation, international security and conflict resolution, global political economy, international law and organizations, foreign policy analysis, and global governance. The journal is theoretically pluralistic, welcoming work grounded in realist, liberal, constructivist, and critical traditions, and is especially interested in scholarship that engages non-Western perspectives on world politics.

History of the Journal
Founded in 1974, the journal emerged from a growing need for a forum dedicated to internationally-oriented IR scholarship during a period of significant shifts in global politics. Over five decades, it has been guided by seven editors-in-chief across institutions in the UK, Canada, Japan, Brazil, the United States, and Switzerland, reflecting its commitment to a genuinely global scholarly conversation.
