About the Journal

International Affairs is one of the world's leading journals of global affairs and international relations. Founded in 1922 by Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, it is politically neutral and publishes scholarship which advances academic debates and informs policy issues. International Affairs welcomes cutting-edge research that is theoretically grounded, methodologically rigorous, and policy-orientated.

International Affairs is published six times a year by Oxford University Press and is managed by Chatham House. General queries may be directed to the co-editors-in-chief, Rita Floyd ([email protected]) and Asaf Siniver ([email protected]). Due to the volume of submissions that International Affairs receives, we are unable to provide detailed feedback on author enquiries about potential submissions or desk rejections.
