Reading Lists

International Affairs is committed to publishing research on all aspects of international relations, across a range of disciplines. Our reading list series provides in-depth collections of analysis on specific themes, drawn from the pages of International Affairs since 2000. Each reading list also includes a 'snapshot from history' article, providing further thematic context in relation to historic global events.
 Ideal for module reading lists, or an introduction to a new IR topic, we hope these lists prove a valuable resource for researchers, teachers and students alike.
