CRIA Team – 2025
Editors-in-Chief
The Editors-in-Chief are responsible for all aspects of editing and managing the journal: setting the editorial agenda of the respective issues in accordance with the journal’s purposes and identity, working with authors, referees and other scholars in section, article and book review development, as well as managing the editorial team.
Managing Editors
The Managing Editors oversee CRIA’s double-blind peer-review process. They research article topics, identify and recruit subject-area experts as peer reviewers and collate reviewer comments to inform the journal’s editorial decisions and provide feedback to authors.
Features Editors
The Features Editor’s main task is to manage the book review section, selecting the most appropriate and interesting politics and international affairs books to review, commissioning expert reviewers and editing those reviews in a timely fashion.
Associate Editors
The Associate Editors are responsible for copy-editing articles that have already passed peer review, before they are sent to publication. This entails going through the text to bring the spelling and grammar up to publication standards. Associate Editors also improve the clarity of the writing, while respecting the author’s style.
