Submissions

Web Edition

The web edition of the International Affairs Review publishes on a continuous basis, and submissions are considered on a rolling basis. Accepted formats include analyses, op-eds, book reviews, and research articles.

Pieces must:

·         Be written by a current graduate student or a recent graduate of a graduate program;

·         Be approximately 750-1100 word in length, though longer pieces can often be accommodated by splitting them into multiple articles;

·         Include a lede, a short single sentence summarizing the most important aspects of the story;

·         Include hyperlink citations, which will be vetted;

·         Address a current issue in international affairs;

·         Include a short biographical statement at the end (see recent pieces for examples); and

·         Make at least one policy recommendation for at least one policy actor.

Articles must be compliant with this style guide and sent to iarsubmissions@email.gwu.edu as Microsoft Word attachments. Published articles become the property of the International Affairs Review, which accepts no responsibility for lost or damaged materials.

Due to the number of submissions we receive, we are only able to respond to emails that include articles we are interested in publishing at the time. We only consider articles that are not being considered by other outlets for publication. If you do not hear back from us in three business days, you can assume we will not publish the submitted article and can pitch it to other outlets.
