Columbia University's Journal of International Affairs, established in 1947, is the School of International and Public Affairs' flagship academic publication. Our editorial board is entirely student run. We produce and publish single-theme print issues containing peer-reviewed academic essays and detailed analysis, as well as a digital edition with articles covering a wide spectrum of topics, podcast episodes, and periodic newsletters. Past print issues have featured Nobel laureates, heads of state, and leading scholars and practitioners in the fields of international affairs and public policy. In 2022, the Journal celebrated its 75th anniversary year with its print edition, a suite of articles on the digital edition, and special programming.
