About the Journal

Scope

The Cambridge Review of International Affairs (CRIA) is a peer-reviewed journal, publishing innovative scholarship on international affairs from across the social sciences, including international relations, history, law, political economy, area studies, development studies and gender studies. 

We are committed to a diversity of approach and method and encourage the submission of multi and interdisciplinary contributions from academics and policymakers. The journal is especially interested in work that offers theoretical and historical analyses of global issues, rethinks our understanding of 'historical IR', and centres topics, communities and experiences left at the margins of the discipline.

CRIA is published six times a year by Taylor and Francis and is edited by a team of doctoral students in the University of Cambridge’s Department of Politics and International Studies. The current Co-Editors-in-Chief are Leah Schmidt and Connor O'Brien.

CRIA contributes to scholarly debate by publishing original research articles which discuss pertinent and topical theoretical, empirical and methodological questions. We also publish book review forums and responses, and ‘special issues’ which investigate a certain theme or topic in depth. The submission of articles from panels, workshops, and conferences for joint publication is encouraged.
