International Studies Review (ISR)

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 four 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.

Featured Book Reviews: Each issue also contains three or four extended reviews of books. These will be books that have been published outside the United Sates and written in languages other than English, or books that make a particularly important contribution to the field, wherever they are published.

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

The focus of the International Studies Review is on books and research dealing with international institutions and the foreign policies, international interactions, and international relationships of such political actors as national governments, subnational groups, and international governmental and nongovernmental organizations.

At the same time, the Review is committed to engaging the entire international studies community in a creative dialogue. Over time the essay and book reviews will give attention to such diverse topics as security studies, international regime theory, international trade and finance, comparative studies, development studies, feminist international theory, peace studies, foreign policy analysis, international organizations, international communication, intelligence studies, international law, environmental studies, as well as various types of research methodologies.

Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA)

Foreign Policy Analysis provides a peer-reviewed outlet for the highest quality academic research into the processes, outcomes and theories of foreign policy. Reflecting the diverse, comparative and multidisciplinary nature of the field, Foreign Policy Analysis provides an open forum for research publication that enhances the communication of concepts and ideas across theoretic, methodological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries. By emphasizing accessibility of content for scholars of all perspectives and approaches in the editorial and review process, Foreign Policy Analysis serves as a source for efforts at theoretical and methodological integration and deepening the conceptual debates throughout this rich and complex research tradition. 

Foreign policy analysis, as a field of study, is characterized by its actor-specific focus. The underlying, often implicit argument is that the source of international politics and change in international politics is human beings, acting individually or in groups. In the simplest terms, foreign policy analysis is the study of process, effects, causes or outputs of foreign policy decision-making in either a comparative or case-specific manner.

Foreign Policy Analysis is distributed to all members of the International Studies Association, as well as several thousand institutional and library subscribers. As a result, the review guidelines are intended not only to insure the highest quality in the research published, but also to provide value to such a large and diverse audience. Authors are asked to insure that their articles are written to be accessible to all researchers in international studies. Submissions are open to all and all submissions will be evaluated on the quality of their content with the additional consideration of broad accessibility.

Electronic submissions are preferred. Current details are available at http://fpa.tamu.edu and questions can be directed to any member of the editorial team.
