Undergraduate Journal - Politics Journal - International Affairs Journal
Dear Reader,
NYU undergraduates have heretofore been without an outlet for publication of outstanding scholarly work in the fields of political science and international relations. The Undergraduate Journal of Politics and International Affairs solicits rigorous academic work in all areas of political science. The Journal's mission is to promote undergraduate interest in scholarship and stimulate discourse about the complex range of issues endemic to the study of political science and international relations.
The Journal attempts to reconcile both qualitative and quantitative approaches to the study of political science. We recognize that a diversity of methods is critical to a productive analysis of politics and international relations and have thus chosen a variety of articles, each of which demonstrates in-depth thought, critical reasoning and creativity, to reflect this belief. Each article is subject to a multi-level screening and editing process and only the best pieces make it into the Journal. We were impressed by the number of submissions for this issue and are confident that the growth and maturation of the Journal will bring increasingly sophisticated articles and unique views to the fore.
2007 marks the first year in human history in which the majority of the world's population will live in cities. A broad reading of this issue reveals the authors' and editors' concern with several common themes relevant to such unprecedented potential for social change.
Social change, for better or worse, is a definitive hallmark of international relations. Positive social change, however, is awarded and restricted by the external and internal actors to the state. Thus, revisions of the status quo at the domestic, regional, and international levels will increasingly be couched in terms that reflect the landmark changes of 2007 on human society.
