International Relations Journal

International Relations graduate and undergraduate students at SFSU publish an annual issue of the International Relations Journal.

The journal contains articles on political, historical, economic, legal, philosophical, diplomatic and theoretical issues concerning world affairs. It is distributed to the students and faculty of SFSU, as well as to universities worldwide. SFSU students from any major or program are encouraged to submit papers pertinent to international relations for consideration.

If your department or organization would like to contact the journal, you may email Dr. Burcu Ellis at bellis@sfsu.edu. Please indicate your name, institutional affiliation (if any) and your mailing address.

Mission Statement

The SFSU International Relations Journal is the result of a collaborative student effort to contribute to the literature in the field of international relations. The journal does not subscribe to a particular theoretical or political position, but rather, seeks to reflect the diverse range of student opinions at SFSU. Each student writer assumes a term-long partnership with an editor under the supervision of the managing and senior editors, who are in turn guided by a faculty adviser. From amongst the candidates for publication, several articles and/or book reviews are presented to the readers of the journal in an annual issue that showcases undergraduate and graduate student work.
