"An exciting new journal that significantly advances the field of international relations by exploring frontier issues in the realm of theory, but in the context of urgent real world problems. A necessary source for all who want to know about the latest developments in IR and who welcome the advancement of knowledge through rigorous scholarly debates."
Lucian W. Pye
Past President of the American Political Science Association

Because it is beholden to no one school of thought, methodology or political ideology it is an important and welcome resource for all of us."
