The International Studies Review provides a window on current trends and research in the field of international studies. In it, scholars, educators, and policymakers can find pertinent information about new books in international studies as well as analytic reviews of recent trends and controversies in scholarship around the world. Published four time a year, the Review will help: (a) scholars engage in the kind of dialogue and debate that will shape the field of international studies in the future; (b) graduate and undergraduate students understand the major issues in international studies and identify promising opportunities for research; and (c) educators keep up with new ideas and research.
Contents
The Review contains the following distinct sections.
Reflection, Evaluation, and Integration: The heart of each issue is made up of two or three extended essays that synthesize scholarship, clarify debates, pose new perspectives on existing research, identify new directions in the field, or provide insight into scholarship in various parts of the world.
Reviews of Books: As many as 20 short pieces review single books or sets of two or three related books that have been published within the past year.
The Forum: A goal of the Review is to stimulate lively dialogue and debate about the nature of and future directions for international studies. The Forum provides an outlet for debates over concepts, theories, current research, or even about reviews that have been published in the International Studies Review itself.
Focus
