International Relations (IR)
Journal Descriptions
International Relations is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by SAGE Publications in association with the David Davies Memorial Institute. Since its establishment in 1960, it has been a respected forum for scholarly research on international relations theory and global politics. The journal’s mission is to promote pluralism in subject matter and method, welcoming contributions that span the breadth of international relations — from conceptual work and normative analyses to empirical research and policy evaluation. Articles often address contemporary challenges in world politics, including diplomacy, security studies, global governance, international political economy, transnational movements, environmental politics, and human rights. In addition to research articles, International Relations publishes review essays, debates, interviews, and forum pieces that stimulate scholarly dialogue across subfields and perspectives within the discipline. Its interdisciplinary approach reflects the complexity of global issues and appeals to scholars, policy analysts, and advanced students seeking both theoretical insight and real-world relevance. Indexed in major databases such as Scopus, Social Sciences Citation Index, and International Bibliography of Periodical Literature, the journal contributes meaningfully to scholarly discourse by advancing innovative research and fostering diverse intellectual engagement in international relations.
