The NYU Undergraduate Journal of Politics and International Affairs was founded by NYU IR students as an outlet for the publication of outstanding student work in the fields of international relations and political science. Operated and edited by NYU IR students, the Journal aims to stimulate scholarly discourse on pressing national and international issues through rigorous empirical analysis and a diversity of methods and opinions. Selected submissions are reviewed by both the student editors and NYU politics department faculty. The Journal accepts submissions from all NYU undergraduates.
