International Studies Perspectives

Scope

SP publishes three types of articles, all of which share the common requirement of focus and relevance to matters related to international relations/international studies: Pedagogy These articles present and analyze innovative teaching practices in the field of international studies in colleges and universities from around the world. Pedagogy articles are open in scope/method but must include empirical evidence approaches to teaching/learning and/or learning outcomes and must be grounded in the scholarship of teaching and learning. Policy These articles address current or recent policy debates – broadly conceived – highlighting the degree to which these debates are or ought to be informed by existing scholarly literature and contemporary research. Policy articles are non-normative, evidence-based, explanatory, analytical/evaluative, examinations of problems and policies with global and/or transnational focus. Practice These articles offer insights into current trends in international studies in the academic and practitioner communities, including topics concerning the state of the discipline, methodological debates, publishing in international studies, the academic and nonacademic job market, professional development, and others. The editors of ISP encourage submissions that bridge different academic disciplines, the academic and policymaking worlds, and the teacher-student gap globally conceived. Submissions from traditionally underrepresented regions and perspectives are particularly welcomed. Manuscripts of original research (maximum of 10,000 words, inclusive of all text, notes, tables/figures, references, and appendices) that lack a primary emphasis on pedagogy, policy analysis, and/or practice related to international studies are not suitable for ISP and should not be submitted for review. The journal does not publish announcements or book reviews of any sort. Articles that do not fit ISP’s mission will be rejected prior to review.
